Where AGF's grants concentrate

AGF Manufacturing, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under A62C (FIRE-FIGHTING). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, AGF sits between Afros S.p.a. and Air-bag Packing Co., Ltd..

AGF's three-year grant acceleration

AGF Manufacturing, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
