Where Progress's grants concentrate

Progress Maschinen & Automation AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under Y02P (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies IN THE Production OR Processing OF Goods). By volume, Progress sits between PRO Limb International Corp. and Promau S.R.L..

Progress's three-year grant acceleration

Progress Maschinen & Automation AG shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
