What this shows Ncsoft's Innovation Score is 47.4/100 (top 19% 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 Ncsoft?

Each dot is one of Ncsoft’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). Ncsoft’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ncsoft's grants concentrate

Ncsoft Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 31.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Ncsoft sits between Nanjing University OF Science AND Technology and NeuroNexus Technologies, Inc..

Ncsoft's three-year grant acceleration

Ncsoft Corporation shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
