Where Universidad's grants concentrate

Universidad Carlos III DE Madrid is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Universidad sits between Unified Innovative Technology, LLC and Universite Jean Monnet.

Universidad's three-year grant acceleration

Universidad Carlos III DE Madrid shows 2 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.
