Methodology
Growth rates are pre-computed in the company_growth table by the PlainPatent ETL pipeline. The ranking JOINs companies to company_growth and orders by growth_rate descending, restricted to companies with ≥100 cumulative US patent grants. Universities and government entities are excluded from the companies table at the ETL level.
Caveats and Limitations
Assignee normalization may miss pre-2015 acquisitions, understating growth for rebranded entities. Grant data lags filing by 24-36 months. International assignees with US grants are included. No adjustment for patent quality or citation impact, this is raw count growth. Database covers grants only, not applications or foreign filings.
