Where Horning's grants concentrate

Horning Manufacturing, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Horning sits between Hobie Cat IP, LLC and Hougen Manufacturing, Inc..

Horning's three-year grant acceleration

Horning Manufacturing, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
