Where Upstream's grants concentrate

Upstream Security, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Upstream sits between University of Konstanz and Vallourec Drilling Products France.

Upstream's three-year grant acceleration

Upstream Security, Ltd. shows 6 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.
