What this shows Kong's Innovation Score is 46.5/100 (top 21% 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 Kong?

Each dot is one of Kong’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). Kong’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kong's grants concentrate

Kong Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 45.2% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Kong sits between Jess-link Products Co., Ltd. and LIH Yann Industrial Co., Ltd..

Kong's three-year grant acceleration

Kong Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
