What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 12.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 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 Science & Technology Information is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 54.2% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Korea sits between Kikusui Seisakusho Ltd. and Kali Care, Inc..

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea Institute OF Science & Technology Information shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
