Where Korea's grants concentrate

Korea Airports Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B64F (Ground OR Aircraft-carrier-deck Installations Specially Adapted FOR USE IN Connection With AIRCRAFT; Designing, Manufacturing, Assembling, Cleaning, Maintaining OR Repairing Aircraft, NOT Otherwise PR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Korea sits between Kholle Magnolia 2015, LLC and Keep Technologies, Inc..

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea Airports Corporation shows 3 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.
