Where Norbar's grants concentrate

Norbar Torque Tools Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B25B (Tools OR Bench Devices NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, FOR Fastening, Connecting, Disengaging OR Holding). By volume, Norbar sits between Nippon Wiper Blade Co., Ltd. and Noroo IC Co., Ltd..

Norbar's three-year grant acceleration

Norbar Torque Tools Limited shows 1 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.
