Where Profilator's grants concentrate

Profilator GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B23F (Making Gears OR Toothed Racks). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Profilator sits between Prezi, Inc. and Protomet Corporation.

Profilator's three-year grant acceleration

Profilator GmbH & Co. KG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
