What this shows Komico's Innovation Score is 45.7/100 (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.

Where Komico's grants concentrate

Komico Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under C23C (COATING METALLIC MATERIAL; COATING MATERIAL WITH METALLIC MATERIAL; SURFACE TREATMENT OF METALLIC MATERIAL BY DIFFUSION INTO THE SURFACE, BY CHEMICAL CONVERSION OR SUBSTITUTION; COATING BY VACUUM EVAP). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Komico sits between KNO2 Llc and Korea Fuel-tech Corporation.

Komico's three-year grant acceleration

Komico Ltd. shows 6 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.
