Where CMD's grants concentrate

CMD Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 87% of grants classified under B31B (Making Containers OF Paper, Cardboard OR Material Worked IN A Manner Analogous TO Paper). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, CMD sits between Centre Hospitalier Universitaire DE Bordeaux and Consitex S.A..

CMD's three-year grant acceleration

CMD Corporation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
