Where PBM's grants concentrate

PBM Nutritionals, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, PBM sits between Passport Technologies, Inc. and PDX Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

PBM's three-year grant acceleration

PBM Nutritionals, LLC shows 2 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.
