Where Spruce's grants concentrate

Spruce Biosciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Spruce sits between Speclipse, Inc. and Stcube & Co., Inc..

Spruce's three-year grant acceleration

Spruce Biosciences, Inc. shows 9 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.
