Where Touchstone's grants concentrate

Touchstone Research Laboratory Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B32B (Layered Products, i.e. Products Built-up OF Strata OF Flat OR Non-flat, e.g. Cellular OR Honeycomb, Form). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Touchstone sits between Totally Tubular Mfg., Inc. and Tradecapture OTC Corp..

Touchstone's three-year grant acceleration

Touchstone Research Laboratory Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
