Where Minimax's grants concentrate

Minimax Viking Research & Development GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 87.3% of grants classified under A62C (Fire-fighting). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (17 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Minimax sits between Microport Orthopedics Holdings, Inc. and Prysm, Inc..

Minimax's three-year grant acceleration

Minimax Viking Research & Development GmbH shows 47 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
