Where Vista's grants concentrate

Vista Water Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under E03C (Domestic Plumbing Installations FOR Fresh Water OR Waste Water ; Sinks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Vista sits between Versa Power Systems, Ltd and Valve Solutions, Inc..

Vista's three-year grant acceleration

Vista Water Group, LLC shows 10 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.
