What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 44.6/100 (top 25% 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 11.3 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 Ceramic Engineering AND Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 43 CPC subclasses with 23.8% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Korea sits between Kimpex Inc. and Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc..

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea Institute OF Ceramic Engineering AND Technology shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
