Where Timex's grants concentrate

Timex Group USA, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 56.5% of grants classified under G04B (Mechanically-driven Clocks OR WATCHES; Mechanical Parts OF Clocks OR Watches IN GENERAL; Time Pieces Using THE Position OF THE SUN, Moon OR Stars). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Timex sits between The United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology and TruePic Inc..

Timex's three-year grant acceleration

Timex Group USA, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
