Where ARC's grants concentrate

ARC Devices Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 95% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (23 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, ARC sits between Weber Maschinenbau GmbH Breidenbach and Buerkert Werke Gmbh & Co. KG.

ARC's three-year grant acceleration

ARC Devices Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
