Where Forage's grants concentrate

Forage Company B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01F (Processing OF Harvested PRODUCE; HAY OR Straw PRESSES; Devices FOR Storing Agricultural OR Horticultural Produce).

Forage's three-year grant acceleration

Forage Company B.V. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
