Where Lochinvar's grants concentrate

Lochinvar, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F24H (Fluid Heaters, e.g. Water OR AIR Heaters, Having Heat-generating Means, e.g. Heat Pumps, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Lochinvar sits between Lilium eAircraft GmbH and Loop Now Technologies, Inc..

Lochinvar's three-year grant acceleration

Lochinvar, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
