Where Beam's grants concentrate

Beam Therapeutics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Beam sits between Bartell Machinery Systems, L.l.c. and Behavioral Safety Products, Llc.

Beam's three-year grant acceleration

Beam Therapeutics Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
