Where University's grants concentrate

University of Vermont is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, University sits between Universitat de les Illes Balears and Utah State University Research Foundation.

University's three-year grant acceleration

University of Vermont shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
