What this shows KH's Innovation Score is 26.3/100 (20th 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 KH?

Each dot is one of KH’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). KH’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where KH's grants concentrate

KH Neochem Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under C10M (Lubricating Compositions ; USE OF Chemical Substances Either Alone OR AS Lubricating Ingredients IN A Lubricating Composition). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, KH sits between Kapman AB and Kitamura Machinery Co., Ltd..

KH's three-year grant acceleration

KH Neochem Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
