Where Freudenberg's grants concentrate

Freudenberg Oil & Gas, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Freudenberg sits between ForgeRock, Inc. and GBS Holdings LLC.

Freudenberg's three-year grant acceleration

Freudenberg Oil & Gas, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
