Where Certainteed's grants concentrate

CertainTeed Ceilings Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under E04B (General Building CONSTRUCTIONS; Walls, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; Insulation OR Other Protection OF Buildings). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (12 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Certainteed sits between Coretech System Co., Ltd. and Dali Wireless, Inc..

Certainteed's three-year grant acceleration

CertainTeed Ceilings Corporation shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
