Where Franklin's grants concentrate

Franklin Armory Holdings, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F41A (Functional Features OR Details Common TO Both Smallarms AND Ordnance, e.g. CANNONS; Mountings FOR Smallarms OR Ordnance). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Franklin sits between FHE USA LLC and Fannie Mae.

Franklin's three-year grant acceleration

Franklin Armory Holdings, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
