Where Lotus's grants concentrate

Lotus Applied Technology, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C23C (Coating Metallic MATERIAL; Coating Material With Metallic MATERIAL; Surface Treatment OF Metallic Material BY Diffusion Into THE Surface, BY Chemical Conversion OR SUBSTITUTION; Coating BY Vacuum Evap). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Lotus sits between LogiQuip LLC and Luci Mobility, Inc..

Lotus's three-year grant acceleration

Lotus Applied Technology, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
