Where AOP's grants concentrate

AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, AOP sits between ANSeeN Inc. and APL Technology AS.

AOP's three-year grant acceleration

AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG shows 2 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.
