What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 48.2/100 (top 17% 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 12.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.8 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 Institute OF Fusion Energy is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under H05H (Plasma Technique ; Production OF Accelerated Electrically-charged Particles OR OF NEUTRONS; Production OR Acceleration OF Neutral Molecular OR Atomic Beams). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Korea sits between Konst Breeding B.V. and Kruger Optical, Inc..

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea Institute OF Fusion Energy shows 5 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.
