Where National's grants concentrate

National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A63F (Card, Board, OR Roulette GAMES; Indoor Games Using Small Moving Playing BODIES; Video GAMES; Games NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, National sits between Nanotheta Co, Ltd. and Nature Lab Corporation.

National's three-year grant acceleration

National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
