Where Sunflower's grants concentrate

Sunflower Therapeutics, PBC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Sunflower sits between Sun Automation, Inc. and Super Sweet Air, Inc..

Sunflower's three-year grant acceleration

Sunflower Therapeutics, PBC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
