Where Richards's grants concentrate

Richards Mfg. Co., A New Jersey Limited Partnership is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under H02G (Installation OF Electric Cables OR Lines, OR OF Combined Optical AND Electric Cables OR Lines).

Richards's three-year grant acceleration

Richards Mfg. Co., A New Jersey Limited Partnership shows 6 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.
