Where Ancra's grants concentrate

Ancra International LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 70.4% of grants classified under B60P (Vehicles Adapted FOR Load Transportation OR TO Transport, TO Carry, OR TO Comprise Special Loads OR Objects). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ancra sits between Affirm, Inc. and Arete Associates.

Ancra's three-year grant acceleration

Ancra International LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
