Where Robertshaw's grants concentrate

Robertshaw Controls Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 57.8% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Robertshaw sits between Precision BioSciences, Inc. and Skidata GmbH.

Robertshaw's three-year grant acceleration

Robertshaw Controls Company shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
