Where Crossford's grants concentrate

Crossford International, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 53.1% of grants classified under B08B (Cleaning IN GENERAL; Prevention OF Fouling IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Crossford sits between ChipMOS Technologies Inc. and Dr. Py Institute LLC.

Crossford's three-year grant acceleration

Crossford International, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
