What this shows Incheon's Innovation Score is 37.6/100 (top 43% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Incheon?

Each dot is one of Incheon’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Incheon’s own 10.5 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Incheon's grants concentrate

Incheon University Industry Academic Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Incheon sits between Illusive Networks Ltd and Interface Optoelectronics (WUXI) Co., Ltd..

Incheon's three-year grant acceleration

Incheon University Industry Academic Cooperation Foundation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
