Where Adient's grants concentrate

Adient US LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 97% of grants classified under B60N (Seats Specially Adapted FOR VEHICLES; Vehicle Passenger Accommodation NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (23 grants) versus a trough of 15 in 2022. By volume, Adient sits between Agfa Healthcare NV and Beken Corporation.

Adient's three-year grant acceleration

Adient US LLC shows 53 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
