Where Schluter's grants concentrate

Schluter Systems L.P. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under E04F (Finishing Work ON Buildings, e.g. Stairs, Floors). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, Schluter sits between Rosco, Inc. and Teac Corporation.

Schluter's three-year grant acceleration

Schluter Systems L.P. shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
