Where Eaton's grants concentrate

Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16H (GEARING). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Eaton sits between Ezisurg Medical Co., Ltd. and Edeniq, Inc..

Eaton's three-year grant acceleration

Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., Llc shows 6 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.
