Where Illumagear's grants concentrate

Illumagear, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Illumagear sits between Ipco 2012 Limited and Inova Ltd..

Illumagear's three-year grant acceleration

Illumagear, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
