The Notebook, Llc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under G10L (SPEECH ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES OR SPEECH SYNTHESIS; SPEECH RECOGNITION; SPEECH OR VOICE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES; SPEECH OR AUDIO CODING OR DECODING). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, The sits between The Container Store, Inc. and Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc.
The Notebook, Llc shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
