Which companies are granting a cluster of patents? Bulk feed over USPTO / PatentsView granted-patent assignees, ordered by grant count in the loaded window — an assignee with a cluster of grants is an R&D/growth signal. Cursor-paginated up to 1000/page, filterable by state, minimum grants, CPC subclass, first-time-assignee only, or since. Rows carry the assignee, grant count, CPC tech areas, grant window, inventor count, and a first_time_assignee flag. CC BY 4.0 attribution (in _meta.notice). [price: $0.05/row]
