Where Nalge's grants concentrate

Nalge Nunc International Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under B01L (Chemical OR Physical Laboratory Apparatus FOR General USE). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Nalge sits between Nuts Holdings, LLC and NanoDX, Inc..

Nalge's three-year grant acceleration

Nalge Nunc International Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
