Where Buckman's grants concentrate

Buckman Laboratories International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 46 CPC subclasses with 37.1% of grants classified under D21H (Pulp COMPOSITIONS; Preparation Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclasses D21c OR D21D; Impregnating OR Coating OF PAPER; Treatment OF Finished Paper NOT Covered BY Class B31 OR Subclass D21G; Paper NOT Otherw). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Buckman sits between Biodesix, Inc. and CFD Research Corporation.

Buckman's three-year grant acceleration

Buckman Laboratories International, Inc. shows 10 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.
