Where Boston's grants concentrate

Boston Microfluidics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under B01L (Chemical OR Physical Laboratory Apparatus FOR General USE). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Boston sits between Black TIE Brands, LLC and Breakthrough Golf Technology LLC.

Boston's three-year grant acceleration

Boston Microfluidics Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
