Does more volume mean deeper claims for Samyang?
Each dot is one of Samyang’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). Samyang’s own 2.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Samyang's grants concentrate
Samyang Optics Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 9.1% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Samyang sits between RUG Doctor, LLC and Shibaura Electronics Co., Ltd..
Samyang's three-year grant acceleration
Samyang Optics Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
