Where Darwin's grants concentrate

Darwin Precisions Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 47 CPC subclasses with 36.2% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Darwin sits between Bemis Associates, Inc. and Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies LLC.

Darwin's three-year grant acceleration

Darwin Precisions Corporation shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
