Where Robert's grants concentrate

Robert Bürkle GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Robert sits between Risi Stone Inc. and Robust AI, Inc..

Robert's three-year grant acceleration

Robert Bürkle GmbH shows 4 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.
