Where Clinical's grants concentrate

Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under G16H (Healthcare Informatics, i.e. Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR THE Handling OR Processing OF Medical OR Healthcare Data). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Clinical sits between Clementia Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Cloud9 Technologies, LLC.

Clinical's three-year grant acceleration

Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc. shows 2 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.
