Where Trinity's grants concentrate

Trinity Industrial Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 49 CPC subclasses with 29.8% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Trinity sits between Sulzer Chemtech AG and Tomoegawa Corporation.

Trinity's three-year grant acceleration

Trinity Industrial Corporation shows 10 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.
