What this shows Pukyong's Innovation Score is 64.9/100 (top 1% 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 Pukyong?

Each dot is one of Pukyong’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). Pukyong’s own 9.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Pukyong's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Pukyong National University Industry-University Cooperation Foundation received 45 grants versus 13 in 2015–2019 (+246% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 22 grants and bottomed in 2015 at 1. Lead class G01N accounts for 21.1% of the portfolio across 83 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Omeros Corporation (#4,905) and SR Technologies, Inc. (#4,913).

Pukyong's three-year grant acceleration

Pukyong National University Industry-University Cooperation Foundation shows 38 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
