Where Mayr-melnhof's grants concentrate

Mayr-melnhof Karton AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Mayr-melnhof sits between Masterbuilt Manufacturing, LLC and MDxHealth SA.

Mayr-melnhof's three-year grant acceleration

Mayr-melnhof Karton AG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
