How King's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, King Faisal University received 752 grants versus 2 in 2015–2019 (+37500% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 630 grants and bottomed in 2017 at 1. Lead class A61P accounts for 54.2% of the portfolio across 164 subclasses. Volume neighbours: C.R. Bard, Inc. (#554) and Hefei BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (#562).

King's three-year grant acceleration

King Faisal University shows 747 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
