Where Manitou's grants concentrate

Manitou Equipment America, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under E02F (DREDGING; Soil-shifting). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Manitou sits between MacDermid Acumen, Inc. and Mapped Inc..

Manitou's three-year grant acceleration

Manitou Equipment America, LLC shows 4 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.
