Where dormakaba's grants concentrate

dormakaba USA Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 82.1% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (13 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, dormakaba sits between WÜRTH Elektronik Eisos GMBH & Co. KG and Aker Biomarine Antarctic AS.

dormakaba's three-year grant acceleration

dormakaba USA Inc. shows 25 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
