Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 22.2% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Central sits between Celon Pharma S.A. and Cevec Pharmaceuticals GmbH.
Central South University OF Forestry AND Technology shows 4 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.
