Where PDS's grants concentrate

PDS IG Holdings LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, PDS sits between Paua Trading Limited and Pegasor OY.

PDS's three-year grant acceleration

PDS IG Holdings LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
