Where Canon's grants concentrate

Canon Virginia, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 48.8% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Canon sits between Cggveritas Services S.A. and Cirrus Logic International Semiconductor Ltd..

Canon's three-year grant acceleration

Canon Virginia, Inc. shows 26 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.
