Where Laticrete's grants concentrate

Laticrete International, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under C04B (Lime, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; Compositions Thereof, e.g. Mortars, Concrete OR Like Building MATERIALS; Artificial Stone ; Ceramics ; REFRACTORIES; Treatment OF Natural Stone). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Laticrete sits between Kuang-chi Intelligent Photonic Technology Ltd. and LGHorizon, LLC.

Laticrete's three-year grant acceleration

Laticrete International, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
