Where Bourgault's grants concentrate

Bourgault Industries Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 61.8% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Bourgault sits between Bluescope Steel Limited and Caffitaly System S.P.A..

Bourgault's three-year grant acceleration

Bourgault Industries Ltd. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
