Where Almac's grants concentrate

Almac Discovery Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Almac sits between Alken Inc. and AMAX Group USA, Llc.

Almac's three-year grant acceleration

Almac Discovery Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
