Where Aardvark's grants concentrate

Aardvark Medical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Aardvark sits between Avation Medical, Inc. and Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation.

Aardvark's three-year grant acceleration

Aardvark Medical, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
