Where Grady-white's grants concentrate

Grady-White Boats, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping).

Grady-white's three-year grant acceleration

Grady-White Boats, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
