Where Rooftop's grants concentrate

Rooftop Research, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B05C (Apparatus FOR Applying Fluent Materials TO Surfaces, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Rooftop sits between Rocket Innovations, Inc. and Rovi Solutions Corporation.

Rooftop's three-year grant acceleration

Rooftop Research, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
