Where Wipotec's grants concentrate

Wipotec GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 45.7% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Wipotec sits between Woobo Tech Co., Ltd. and fischerwerke GmbH & Co. KG.

Wipotec's three-year grant acceleration

Wipotec GmbH shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
