Where Nanjing's grants concentrate

Nanjing University OF Posts AND Telecommunications is a focused PatentsView assignee: 46 CPC subclasses with 17.1% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (19 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Nanjing sits between Livsmed Inc. and Preferred Networks, Inc..

Nanjing's three-year grant acceleration

Nanjing University OF Posts AND Telecommunications shows 49 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.
