Where Rhode's grants concentrate

Rhode Island Council on Postsecondary Education is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Rhode sits between Rezolute, Inc. and Ridecell, Inc..

Rhode's three-year grant acceleration

Rhode Island Council on Postsecondary Education shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
