Where Ergon's grants concentrate

Ergon International GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B62J (Cycle Saddles OR SEATS; Auxiliary Devices OR Accessories Specially Adapted TO Cycles AND NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Article Carriers OR Cycle Protectors). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Ergon sits between Ensequence, Inc. and Essex Electronics.

Ergon's three-year grant acceleration

Ergon International GmbH shows 5 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.
