Where Kabushiki's grants concentrate

Kabushiki Kaisha Honda Lock is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 71.2% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2020. By volume, Kabushiki sits between Illumio, Inc. and Mahle Metal Leve S/A.

Kabushiki's three-year grant acceleration

Kabushiki Kaisha Honda Lock shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
