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 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.
