Where Vesuvius's grants concentrate

Vesuvius Group, S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B22D (Casting OF METALS; Casting OF Other Substances BY THE Same Processes OR Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Vesuvius sits between Vitec Imaging Solutions S.p.A. and Washtech Holding GmbH.

Vesuvius's three-year grant acceleration

Vesuvius Group, S.A. shows 11 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.
