Where Lite-on's grants concentrate

Lite-on Technology (chang Zhou) Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Lite-on sits between Lianhong ART Co., Ltd. and LOHR Electromecanique.

Lite-on's three-year grant acceleration

Lite-on Technology (chang Zhou) Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
