Where Carefusion's grants concentrate

Carefusion Switzerland 317 SÀRL is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carefusion sits between Cardex Systems Inc. and Carpe Diem Technologies, Inc..

Carefusion's three-year grant acceleration

Carefusion Switzerland 317 SÀRL shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
