Where Accuweather's grants concentrate

AccuWeather, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under G01W (Meteorology). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Accuweather sits between Avalyn Pharma Inc. and Adlens Beacon, Inc..

Accuweather's three-year grant acceleration

AccuWeather, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
