Where Carlson's grants concentrate

Carlson Paving Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carlson sits between Cardio Precision Limited and Casepoint, LLC.

Carlson's three-year grant acceleration

Carlson Paving Products, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
