Where York's grants concentrate

York (Wuxi) Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, York sits between YEU Chyuan Industrial Co., Ltd. and Zeeco, Inc..

York's three-year grant acceleration

York (Wuxi) Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
