Where Sanuwave's grants concentrate

Sanuwave, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sanuwave sits between Rockler Companies, Inc. and Sinox Company Ltd..

Sanuwave's three-year grant acceleration

Sanuwave, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
