What this shows Ulsan's Innovation Score is 62.0/100 (top 3% 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 Ulsan?

Each dot is one of Ulsan’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). Ulsan’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ulsan's grants concentrate

Ulsan National Institute OF Science AND Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 45 CPC subclasses with 15.9% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Ulsan sits between Thorley Industries, LLC and Valeo Siemens Eautomotive France SAS.

Ulsan's three-year grant acceleration

Ulsan National Institute OF Science AND Technology shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
