Where Sun's grants concentrate

Sun Automation, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B31B (Making Containers OF Paper, Cardboard OR Material Worked IN A Manner Analogous TO Paper). By volume, Sun sits between SuaLab Co., Ltd. and Sunflower Therapeutics, PBC.

Sun's three-year grant acceleration

Sun Automation, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
