Does more volume mean deeper claims for Korea?

Each dot is one of Korea’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). Korea’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea (CENTER FOR Disease Control AND PREVENTION) shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
