What this shows Korea's Innovation Score is 50.9/100 (top 12% 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 15.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 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 National University OF Transportation INDUSTRY—ACADEMIC Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Korea sits between King JIM Co., Ltd. and Kama-Tech (HK) Limited.

Korea's three-year grant acceleration

Korea National University OF Transportation INDUSTRY—ACADEMIC Cooperation Foundation shows 13 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.
