Where Homeaway.com's grants concentrate

HomeAway.com, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 75.9% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Homeaway.com sits between Henglin Home Furnishings Co., Ltd. and ITS Co., Ltd.

Homeaway.com's three-year grant acceleration

HomeAway.com, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
