Where Koch-glitsch's grants concentrate

Koch-Glitsch, LP is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Koch-glitsch sits between Kctech Co., Ltd. and Lepton Computing LLC.

Koch-glitsch's three-year grant acceleration

Koch-Glitsch, LP shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
