What this shows Korg's Innovation Score is 19.8/100 (6th 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 Korg?

Each dot is one of Korg’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). Korg’s own 5.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Korg's grants concentrate

Korg Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under G10H (Electrophonic Musical INSTRUMENTS; Instruments IN Which THE Tones ARE Generated BY Electromechanical Means OR Electronic Generators, OR IN Which THE Tones ARE Synthesised From A Data Store). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Korg sits between Koppers Delaware, Inc. and KS Gleitlager GMBH.

Korg's three-year grant acceleration

Korg Inc. shows 1 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.
