Where Blockstream's grants concentrate

Blockstream Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Blockstream sits between Bliss Hammocks Inc. and Blue Line Security Solutions LLC.

Blockstream's three-year grant acceleration

Blockstream Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
