Where Richardson's grants concentrate

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under H02J (Circuit Arrangements OR Systems FOR Supplying OR Distributing Electric POWER; Systems FOR Storing Electric Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Richardson sits between Respivant Sciences GmbH and Rival Downhole Tools LC.

Richardson's three-year grant acceleration

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
