Where Carlson's grants concentrate

Carlson Pet Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 86.2% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2015. By volume, Carlson sits between Berg Companies, Inc. and DFine, Inc..

Carlson's three-year grant acceleration

Carlson Pet Products, Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
