Buhl-PaperForm GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Buhl-paperform sits between Buck Surgical, Inc. and Bulletproof Fitness Equipment Inc.
Buhl-PaperForm GmbH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
