What this shows Knu-industry's Innovation Score is 50.2/100 (top 13% 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 Knu-industry?

Each dot is one of Knu-industry’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). Knu-industry’s own 9.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Knu-industry's grants concentrate

Knu-industry Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 42 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Knu-industry sits between John Nicholas and Kristin Gross Trust and Kao USA Inc..

Knu-industry's three-year grant acceleration

Knu-industry Cooperation Foundation shows 10 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.
