Where Nitto's grants concentrate

Nitto Belgium NV is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under C09J (ADHESIVES; Non-mechanical Aspects OF Adhesive Processes IN GENERAL; Adhesive Processes NOT Provided FOR ELSEWHERE; USE OF Materials AS Adhesives). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Nitto sits between Niramai Health Analytix PVT. Ltd and NMI Naturwissenschaftliches und Medizinisches Institut an der Universität Tübingen.

Nitto's three-year grant acceleration

Nitto Belgium NV shows 2 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.
