Where Konkuk's grants concentrate

Konkuk University Glocal Industry-academic Collaboration Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under C12Y (Enzymes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Konkuk sits between KNC Laboratories Co., Ltd. and Kontrolfreek, LLC.

Konkuk's three-year grant acceleration

Konkuk University Glocal Industry-academic Collaboration Foundation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
