Black Sesame Technologies Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 48.9% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (24 grants) versus a trough of 19 in 2022. By volume, Black sits between AGC Flat Glass North America, Inc. and Compass Therapeutics LLC.
Black Sesame Technologies Inc. shows 66 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
