Where LAB's grants concentrate

LAB (XIAMEN) Sanitary Fittings Inc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E03D (Water-closets OR Urinals With Flushing DEVICES; Flushing Valves Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, LAB sits between L.O.M. Laboratories Inc. and Lake Country Nursery.

LAB's three-year grant acceleration

LAB (XIAMEN) Sanitary Fittings 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.
