What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 41.1/100 (top 34% 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 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 12.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Korea's grants concentrate

Korea GAS Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 32% of grants classified under F17C (Vessels FOR Containing OR Storing Compressed, Liquefied OR Solidified GASES; Fixed-capacity GAS-HOLDERS; Filling Vessels With, OR Discharging From Vessels, Compressed, Liquefied, OR Solidified Gases). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Korea sits between Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and Kanto Kagaku Kabushiki Kaisha.

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea GAS Corporation shows 4 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.
