Where Avril's grants concentrate

Avril is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under C10L (Fuels NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Natural GAS; Synthetic Natural GAS Obtained BY Processes NOT Covered BY Subclasses C10g OR C10K; Liquified Petroleum GAS; USE OF Additives TO Fuels OR FIRES; Fire-lig). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Avril sits between AvL Technologies, Inc. and Baby Teething Tubes L.L.C..

Avril's three-year grant acceleration

Avril shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
