Where Sinclair's grants concentrate

Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sinclair sits between Silverlit Limited and Sino Canada Health Engineering Research Institute (HEFEI) Ltd..

Sinclair's three-year grant acceleration

Sinclair Television Group, Inc 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.
