Where Norcros's grants concentrate

Norcros Group (Holdings) Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A47B (TABLES; DESKS; Office FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; General Details OF Furniture). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Norcros sits between Nissin Industries Ltd. and Nortek Global Hvac, LLC.

Norcros's three-year grant acceleration

Norcros Group (Holdings) Limited shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
