Where Crystal's grants concentrate

Crystal International (GROUP), Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under A45D (Hairdressing OR Shaving Equipment ; Equipment FOR Cosmetics OR Cosmetic Treatments, e.g. FOR Manicuring OR Pedicuring). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Crystal sits between Costa Express Limited and Caldera Medical, Inc..

Crystal's three-year grant acceleration

Crystal International (GROUP), Inc. shows 7 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.
