Where Zebra's grants concentrate

Zebra Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under B43K (Implements FOR Writing OR Drawing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Zebra sits between Yunex LLC and Zetta Research AND Development LLC—AQT Series.

Zebra's three-year grant acceleration

Zebra Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
