What this shows Knog's Innovation Score is 25.1/100 (16th 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 Knog?

Each dot is one of Knog’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). Knog’s own 2.9 claims/patent is at or below the 8.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Knog's grants concentrate

Knog Pty Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 11.1% of grants classified under B62J (Cycle Saddles OR SEATS; Auxiliary Devices OR Accessories Specially Adapted TO Cycles AND NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Article Carriers OR Cycle Protectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Knog sits between Kurume University and L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems, Inc..

Knog's three-year grant acceleration

Knog Pty Ltd shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
