Where Mentor's grants concentrate

Mentor Worldwide, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 87.1% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Mentor sits between Merck Serono SA and Motion Pro Inc..

Mentor's three-year grant acceleration

Mentor Worldwide, LLC shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
