Where Gardner's grants concentrate

Gardner Denver Petroleum Pumps, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Gardner sits between Fortimedix Assets II B.V. and Gbuk Limited.

Gardner's three-year grant acceleration

Gardner Denver Petroleum Pumps, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
