Where Korea's grants concentrate
Korea United Pharm. Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Korea sits between Kochi University and Kovea Co., Ltd..
Korea's three-year grant acceleration
Korea United Pharm. Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
