Where Cutsforth's grants concentrate

Cutsforth, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 85.7% 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 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Cutsforth sits between Blue Belt Technologies, Inc. and Curis, Inc..

Cutsforth's three-year grant acceleration

Cutsforth, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
