Where Keir's grants concentrate

Keir Manufacturing, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under D07B (Ropes OR Cables IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Keir sits between Keba Industrial Automation Germany GMBH and KENZO.

Keir's three-year grant acceleration

Keir Manufacturing, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
