Where Harbin's grants concentrate

Harbin Institute OF Technology, Weihai is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under B21D (Working OR Processing OF Sheet Metal OR Metal Tubes, Rods OR Profiles Without Essentially Removing MATERIAL; Punching Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Harbin sits between Hansa Biopharma AB and Harumoto Technology (SHEN ZHEN) Co., Ltd..

Harbin's three-year grant acceleration

Harbin Institute OF Technology, Weihai shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
