What this shows Korn's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 Korn?

Each dot is one of Korn’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). Korn’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Korn's grants concentrate

Korn Ferry is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Korn sits between Kongsberg Actuation Systems II, Inc. and Krinner Innovation GmbH.

Korn's three-year grant acceleration

Korn Ferry shows 2 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.
