Where Hog's grants concentrate

Hog Slat, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under A01K (Animal HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; Rearing OR Breeding Animals, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; NEW Breeds OF Animals). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Hog sits between Highland Natural Resources, PLC and Homology Medicines, Inc..

Hog's three-year grant acceleration

Hog Slat, Inc. shows 1 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.
