Where Forescout's grants concentrate

Forescout Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 99% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (22 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Forescout sits between Biomet 3i, LLC and Laboratory Corporation OF America Holdings.

Forescout's three-year grant acceleration

Forescout Technologies, Inc. shows 57 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
