Where MCE's grants concentrate

MCE 5 Development is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under F02B (INTERNAL-COMBUSTION PISTON ENGINES; COMBUSTION ENGINES IN GENERAL). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, MCE sits between Maxine M. Thompson Trust and Medimpact Healthcare Systems, Inc..

MCE's three-year grant acceleration

MCE 5 Development shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
