Where Herbert's grants concentrate

Herbert Kannegiesser GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under D06F (Laundering, Drying, Ironing, Pressing OR Folding Textile Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Herbert sits between Hawe Hydraulik SE and Ixblue.

Herbert's three-year grant acceleration

Herbert Kannegiesser GmbH shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
