Where Aura's grants concentrate

Aura Biosciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 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 2021. By volume, Aura sits between Ateliers Busch Sa and Avatekh, Inc..

Aura's three-year grant acceleration

Aura Biosciences, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
