Where Proteus's grants concentrate

Proteus is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C12P (Fermentation OR Enzyme-using Processes TO Synthesise A Desired Chemical Compound OR Composition OR TO Separate Optical Isomers From A Racemic Mixture). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Proteus sits between Protect Animals with Satellites, LLC and Proxim Diagnostics Corporation.

Proteus's three-year grant acceleration

Proteus shows 1 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.
