Where Tuftco's grants concentrate

Tuftco Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under D05C (EMBROIDERING; Tufting). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Tuftco sits between Time Timer, LLC and U-haul International, Inc..

Tuftco's three-year grant acceleration

Tuftco Corporation shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
