Does more volume mean deeper claims for Kangwon?
Each dot is one of Kangwon’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). Kangwon’s own 10.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Kangwon's grants concentrate
Kangwon National University University-Industry Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 45 CPC subclasses with 19.2% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kangwon sits between Jobar International, Inc. and Kingpak Technology Inc..
Kangwon's three-year grant acceleration
Kangwon National University University-Industry Cooperation Foundation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
