What this shows Kona's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th 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 Kona?

Each dot is one of Kona’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). Kona’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kona's grants concentrate

Kona I Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 64.3% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Kona sits between Kiswe Mobile Inc. and Kurtz GmbH.

Kona's three-year grant acceleration

Kona I Co., Ltd. shows 5 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.
