How Electric's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. received 23 grants versus 42 in 2015–2019 (-45% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2020 at 2. Lead class G01R accounts for 25.4% of the portfolio across 67 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Chang Chun Plastics Co., Ltd. (#5,148) and Faurecia Autositze GmbH (#5,156).

Electric's three-year grant acceleration

Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
