Where Massachusetts's grants concentrate

Massachusetts General Hospital is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Massachusetts sits between Manta Sleep Llc and Mbrico, Llc.

Massachusetts's three-year grant acceleration

Massachusetts General Hospital shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
