Does more volume mean deeper claims for Industry-academic?
Each dot is one of Industry-academic’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). Industry-academic’s own 6.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Industry-academic's grants concentrate
Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Kunsan National University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Industry-academic sits between Industrial Research Limited and Infinity Canopy, Inc..
Industry-academic's three-year grant acceleration
Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Kunsan National University shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
