Where 9609385's grants concentrate

9609385 Canada Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, 9609385 sits between va-Q-tec AG and Actuator Solutions GMBH.

9609385's three-year grant acceleration

9609385 Canada Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
