Where Crystal's grants concentrate

Crystal Group, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Crystal sits between Credibility, LLC and Cyclacel Limited.

Crystal's three-year grant acceleration

Crystal Group, Inc. shows 2 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.
