Where Toshiba's grants concentrate

Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under F01K (Steam Engine PLANTS; Steam ACCUMULATORS; Engine Plants NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Engines Using Special Working Fluids OR Cycles). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Toshiba sits between TLX Technologies, LLC and Toyo Corporation.

Toshiba's three-year grant acceleration

Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
