Mahle Electric Drives Japan Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under F02D (CONTROLLING COMBUSTION ENGINES). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Mahle sits between Lzlabs Gmbh and Markwest Energy Partners, L.p..
Mahle Electric Drives Japan Corporation shows 4 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.
