Where Driflower's grants concentrate

Driflower, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under A01F (Processing OF Harvested PRODUCE; HAY OR Straw PRESSES; Devices FOR Storing Agricultural OR Horticultural Produce). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Driflower sits between DNA Medicine Institute, Inc. and David Clark Company Incorporated.

Driflower's three-year grant acceleration

Driflower, LLC shows 13 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.
