Where Rubbermaid's grants concentrate

Rubbermaid Commercial Products LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 21.3% of grants classified under A47L (Domestic Washing OR Cleaning ; Suction Cleaners IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Rubbermaid sits between QuantumScape Corporation and Server Technology, Inc..

Rubbermaid's three-year grant acceleration

Rubbermaid Commercial Products LLC shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
