What this shows Kolon's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 Kolon?

Each dot is one of Kolon’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). Kolon’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kolon's grants concentrate

Kolon Glotech, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 41 CPC subclasses with 18.8% of grants classified under B32B (Layered Products, i.e. Products Built-up OF Strata OF Flat OR Non-flat, e.g. Cellular OR Honeycomb, Form). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kolon sits between Kenyon International, Inc. and L'Garde, Inc..

Kolon's three-year grant acceleration

Kolon Glotech, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
