Where Deflecto's grants concentrate

Deflecto, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Deflecto sits between Dapper Labs, Inc. and Domain Surgical, Inc..

Deflecto's three-year grant acceleration

Deflecto, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
