What this shows KBC's Innovation Score is 21.5/100 (9th percentile 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 KBC?

Each dot is one of KBC’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). KBC’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where KBC's grants concentrate

KBC Advanced Technologies Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G09B (Educational OR Demonstration APPLIANCES; Appliances FOR Teaching, OR Communicating With, THE Blind, Deaf OR MUTE; MODELS; PLANETARIA; GLOBES; MAPS; Diagrams). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, KBC sits between Kari-out LLC and Keisei Rose Nurseries Inc..

KBC's three-year grant acceleration

KBC Advanced Technologies Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
