Where Mississippi's grants concentrate

Mississippi Lime Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 65.5% of grants classified under C04B (Lime, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; Compositions Thereof, e.g. Mortars, Concrete OR Like Building MATERIALS; Artificial Stone ; Ceramics ; REFRACTORIES; Treatment OF Natural Stone). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Mississippi sits between Muehlbauer GMBH & Co. KG and Movellus Circuits Inc..

Mississippi's three-year grant acceleration

Mississippi Lime Company shows 11 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.
