Where Viscofan's grants concentrate

Viscofan, S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Viscofan sits between Video B Holdings Limited and Vital ART AND Science, LLC.

Viscofan's three-year grant acceleration

Viscofan, S.A. shows 3 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.
