Where Coinbase's grants concentrate

Coinbase, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 65.2% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (31 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Coinbase sits between AdrenalineIP and Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc..

Coinbase's three-year grant acceleration

Coinbase, Inc. shows 63 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
