Where Snap-on's grants concentrate

Snap-on Equipment Srl a unico socio is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B60C (Vehicle TYRES; Tyre INFLATION; Tyre CHANGING; Connecting Valves TO Inflatable Elastic Bodies IN GENERAL; Devices OR Arrangements Related TO Tyres). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Snap-on sits between Shanghai Neusoft Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and Syntegon Technology GmbH.

Snap-on's three-year grant acceleration

Snap-on Equipment Srl a unico socio shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
