What this shows Kolon's Innovation Score is 39.3/100 (top 38% 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 10.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kolon's grants concentrate

Kolon Plastics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under C07D (Heterocyclic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Kolon sits between Klueber Lubrication Muenchen SE & Co. KG and Kore Wireless Group, Inc..

Kolon's three-year grant acceleration

Kolon Plastics, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
