Where Biolife's grants concentrate

Biolife, L.l.c. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Biolife sits between Berry Blue, Llc and Birmingham Technologies, Inc..

Biolife's three-year grant acceleration

Biolife, L.l.c. shows 2 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.
