Where The's grants concentrate
The Government of the United States of American, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, The sits between Texas Children's Hospital and The Monte Vista Group, LLC.
The's three-year grant acceleration
The Government of the United States of American, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
