What this shows Samung's Innovation Score is 38.4/100 (top 41% 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 Samung?

Each dot is one of Samung’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). Samung’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Samung's grants concentrate

Samung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Samung sits between S1core LLC and SCA Promotions.

Samung's three-year grant acceleration

Samung Electronics Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
