Where Textron's grants concentrate

Textron Systems Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under B64U (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [UAV]; Equipment Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (12 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Textron sits between Tokyo Women's Medical University and The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc..

Textron's three-year grant acceleration

Textron Systems Corporation shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
