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.
