Where Foodmate's grants concentrate

Foodmate B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Foodmate sits between Fannie Mae and Frogparking Limited.

Foodmate's three-year grant acceleration

Foodmate B.V. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
