The Western Australian Agriculture Authority is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, The sits between The SuperGroup Creative Omnimedia, Inc. and TheVax Genetics Vaccine Co., Ltd..
The Western Australian Agriculture Authority shows 1 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.
