Where Agie's grants concentrate

Agie Charmilles SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 82.6% of grants classified under B23H (Working OF Metal BY THE Action OF A High Concentration OF Electric Current ON A Workpiece Using AN Electrode Which Takes THE Place OF A TOOL; Such Working Combined With Other Forms OF Working OF Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Agie sits between Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc. and Alamo Group Inc..

Agie's three-year grant acceleration

Agie Charmilles SA shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
