What this shows Sangmyung's Innovation Score is 40.9/100 (top 34% 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 Sangmyung?

Each dot is one of Sangmyung’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). Sangmyung’s own 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sangmyung's grants concentrate

Sangmyung University Industry-Academy Cooperation Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 25.8% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sangmyung sits between ST. Jude Medical AB and Shenzhen Fanpuguizhen E-Commerce Co., Ltd..

Sangmyung's three-year grant acceleration

Sangmyung University Industry-Academy Cooperation Foundation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
