TORQ/LITE, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y10T (Technical Subjects Covered BY Former US Classification). By volume, Torq/lite sits between Toho Kasei Co., Ltd. and Tounetsu Co., Ltd..

Torq/lite's three-year grant acceleration

TORQ/LITE, LLC shows 2 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.
