What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 33.5/100 (45th percentile 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 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Korea's grants concentrate

Korea Institute of Carbon Convergence Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C01B (Non-metallic ELEMENTS; Compounds THEREOF; ; Metalloids OR Compounds Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclass C01c). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Korea sits between Konan Medical USA, Inc. and Kramden Enterprises, LLC.

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea Institute of Carbon Convergence Technology shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
