Which companies are new to patenting, and in what technology?
Which companies are new to patenting, and in what technology? Search patent assignee ORGANIZATIONS (entity-resolved), each with first/last grant date, patent count, distinct CPC subclasses, and inventor count. new_assignee=true isolates orgs with their first-ever US patent grant (emerging/stealth signal for VC deal sourcing and corp-dev); narrow by CPC subclass, state/country, first-grant window, or patent_count_min. PatentsView grants (CC BY 4.0), observational.
