Where Zodiac's grants concentrate

Zodiac Pool Care Europe is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E04H (Buildings OR Like Structures FOR Particular PURPOSES; Swimming OR Splash Baths OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; Tents OR Canopies, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Zodiac sits between Vive Health LLC and Amsa, Inc..

Zodiac's three-year grant acceleration

Zodiac Pool Care Europe shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
