Where Albert's grants concentrate

Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 86.5% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Albert sits between Zoho Corporation Private Limited and Barnett Outdoors, LLC..

Albert's three-year grant acceleration

Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GMBH & Co. KG shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
