What this shows Korean's Innovation Score is 23.6/100 (13th percentile 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 Korean?

Each dot is one of Korean’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). Korean’s own 5.6 claims/patent is at or below the 10.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Korean's grants concentrate

Korean Broadcasting System is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Korean sits between Kore Essentials Inc. and Kverneland Group Operations Norway AS.

Korean's three-year grant acceleration

Korean Broadcasting System shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
