Where Shotspotter's grants concentrate

ShotSpotter, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Shotspotter sits between Shenzhen Yihong Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Sico Incorporated.

Shotspotter's three-year grant acceleration

ShotSpotter, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
