Where Horton's grants concentrate

Horton DO Brasil Tecnologia Offshore, Ltda. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Horton sits between HMS MFG Co. and Huhtamaki Molded Fiber Technology B.V..

Horton's three-year grant acceleration

Horton DO Brasil Tecnologia Offshore, Ltda. shows 4 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.
