What this shows Sungwoo's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (top 16% 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 Sungwoo?

Each dot is one of Sungwoo’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). Sungwoo’s own 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 11.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sungwoo's grants concentrate

Sungwoo Hitech Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 30.6% of grants classified under B21D (Working OR Processing OF Sheet Metal OR Metal Tubes, Rods OR Profiles Without Essentially Removing MATERIAL; Punching Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sungwoo sits between Shanghaitech University and TRON—Translationale Onkologie an der Universitätsmedizin der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz.

Sungwoo's three-year grant acceleration

Sungwoo Hitech Co., Ltd. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
