What this shows KNC's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 KNC?

Each dot is one of KNC’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). KNC’s own 13.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where KNC's grants concentrate

KNC Laboratories Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, KNC sits between Kingswood Toys & Novelties Limited and Konkuk University Glocal Industry-academic Collaboration Foundation.

KNC's three-year grant acceleration

KNC Laboratories Co., Ltd. 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.
