Where Stormtrap's grants concentrate

Stormtrap, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E03F (SEWERS; Cesspools). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Stormtrap sits between Stichting Radboud universitair medisch centrum and SubSeaSail, Inc..

Stormtrap's three-year grant acceleration

Stormtrap, LLC shows 3 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.
