What this shows SK's Innovation Score is 49.3/100 (top 15% 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 SK?

Each dot is one of SK’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). SK’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where SK's grants concentrate

SK Holdings Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 43.8% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, SK sits between Simplebet LLC and Smart Rain Systems, LLC.

SK's three-year grant acceleration

SK Holdings Co., Ltd. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
