Where NBC's grants concentrate

NBC Meshtec Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, NBC sits between Nantenergy, Inc. and Neuralstem, Inc..

NBC's three-year grant acceleration

NBC Meshtec Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
