Where DAI's grants concentrate

DAI Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under C09D (Coating Compositions, e.g. Paints, Varnishes OR LACQUERS; Filling PASTES; Chemical Paint OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; Correcting FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; Pastes OR Solids FOR Colouring OR PRINTING; USE OF Materi). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, DAI sits between Daegu-gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation and Datchat, Inc..

DAI's three-year grant acceleration

DAI Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
