Where Franklin's grants concentrate

Franklin Fueling Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Franklin sits between Enlighted, Inc. and Harada Industry Co., Ltd..

Franklin's three-year grant acceleration

Franklin Fueling Systems, LLC shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
