Where Planar's grants concentrate

Planar Motor Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H02K (Dynamo-electric Machines). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Planar sits between Pillar Technologies, Inc. and Platypus Technologies, LLC.

Planar's three-year grant acceleration

Planar Motor Incorporated shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
