Where Meridian's grants concentrate

Meridian International Co., Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 42.1% 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 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Meridian sits between Massively Parallel Technologies, Inc. and Molecular Partners AG.

Meridian's three-year grant acceleration

Meridian International Co., Ltd 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.
