What this shows KTI's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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 KTI?

Each dot is one of KTI’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). KTI’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where KTI's grants concentrate

KTI Hydraulics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under F15B (Systems Acting BY Means OF Fluids IN GENERAL; Fluid-pressure Actuators, e.g. SERVOMOTORS; Details OF Fluid-pressure Systems, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, KTI sits between Korea Institute OF Robot AND Convergence and Kwantex Research Inc..

KTI's three-year grant acceleration

KTI Hydraulics Inc. shows 3 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.
