Where Northeast's grants concentrate

Northeast Forestry University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under D21H (Pulp COMPOSITIONS; Preparation Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclasses D21c OR D21D; Impregnating OR Coating OF PAPER; Treatment OF Finished Paper NOT Covered BY Class B31 OR Subclass D21G; Paper NOT Otherw). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Northeast sits between Nord-lock Switzerland GMBH and Novapharm Research (AUSTRALIA) PTY Ltd.

Northeast's three-year grant acceleration

Northeast Forestry University shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
