Where Quaker's grants concentrate

Quaker Chemical Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under C10M (Lubricating Compositions ; USE OF Chemical Substances Either Alone OR AS Lubricating Ingredients IN A Lubricating Composition). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Quaker sits between Qingdao Jiahe Yongrun Beauty Technology Co., Ltd. and Quantum Genomics.

Quaker's three-year grant acceleration

Quaker Chemical Corporation shows 3 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.
