Where PB's grants concentrate

PB Funding Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C12C (BEER; Preparation OF Beer BY Fermentation ; Preparation OF Malt FOR Making BEER; Preparation OF Hops FOR Making Beer). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, PB sits between Parrable Inc. and Perfect IP, LLC.

PB's three-year grant acceleration

PB Funding Group, LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
