Where NCIP's grants concentrate

NCIP Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under E03C (DOMESTIC PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS FOR FRESH WATER OR WASTE WATER ; SINKS). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, NCIP sits between National Guard Products, Inc. and Neooto Co., Ltd..

NCIP's three-year grant acceleration

NCIP Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
