Does more volume mean deeper claims for Shinhan?

Each dot is one of Shinhan’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). Shinhan’s own 7.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 5.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shinhan's grants concentrate

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Shinhan sits between Shenzhen Yifeng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and SigOpt, Inc..

Shinhan's three-year grant acceleration

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
