Where Delcath's grants concentrate

Delcath Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor).

Delcath's three-year grant acceleration

Delcath Systems, Inc. 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.
