Where Total's grants concentrate

Total Solar International is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Total sits between Tmrw Group IP and Tp-link Corporation PTE. Ltd..

Total's three-year grant acceleration

Total Solar International shows 8 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.
