Where Foshan's grants concentrate

Foshan Shunde Midea Electrical Heating Appliances Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 50.9% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, Foshan sits between Digi International Inc. and Gilead Pharmasset LLC.

Foshan's three-year grant acceleration

Foshan Shunde Midea Electrical Heating Appliances Manufacturing Co., Ltd. shows 26 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
