Where Macgregor's grants concentrate

MacGregor Norway AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Macgregor sits between MY Core Control Development, LLC and Mantrose-Haeuser Co., Inc..

Macgregor's three-year grant acceleration

MacGregor Norway AS shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
