Where DRUG's grants concentrate

DRUG Plastics & Glass Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 70% 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 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, DRUG sits between Dromont S.p.a. and Dukosi Limited.

DRUG's three-year grant acceleration

DRUG Plastics & Glass Company, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
