Where Superior's grants concentrate

Superior Tray Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H02G (Installation OF Electric Cables OR Lines, OR OF Combined Optical AND Electric Cables OR Lines). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Superior sits between Sunfield Semiconductor, Inc. and Support Intelligence, Inc..

Superior's three-year grant acceleration

Superior Tray Systems Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
