Where Chapman's grants concentrate

Chapman University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Chapman sits between Central Adelaide Local Health Network Incorporated and Cheetah Medical, Inc..

Chapman's three-year grant acceleration

Chapman University shows 8 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.
