Where Hydro-aire's grants concentrate

Hydro-Aire, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B60T (Vehicle Brake Control Systems OR Parts THEREOF; Brake Control Systems OR Parts Thereof, IN General ; Arrangement OF Braking Elements ON Vehicles IN GENERAL; Portable Devices FOR Preventing Unwanted MO). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Hydro-aire sits between Hybrid Medical, Inc. and Hydrovaze LLC.

Hydro-aire's three-year grant acceleration

Hydro-Aire, Inc. shows 1 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.
