Where Institute's grants concentrate

Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Institute sits between Ipsen Pharma S.A.S. and Jess-link Products Co., Ltd..

Institute's three-year grant acceleration

Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences shows 25 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.
