Where Smartwash's grants concentrate

Smartwash Solutions, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under A23N (Machines OR Apparatus FOR Treating Harvested Fruit, Vegetables OR Flower Bulbs IN Bulk, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Peeling Vegetables OR Fruit IN BULK; Apparatus FOR Preparing Animal Feeding- Stuffs).

Smartwash's three-year grant acceleration

Smartwash Solutions, LLC shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
