Where Miner's grants concentrate

Miner Enterprises, inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under B61G (COUPLINGS; Draught AND Buffing Appliances). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Miner sits between Meyer Sound Laboratories, Incorporated and My Sweet Petunia, Inc..

Miner's three-year grant acceleration

Miner Enterprises, inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
