Where Wilcox's grants concentrate

Wilcox Industries Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 42 CPC subclasses with 45.8% of grants classified under F41G (Weapon SIGHTS; Aiming). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Wilcox sits between Unity IPR ApS and AS IP Holdco, LLC.

Wilcox's three-year grant acceleration

Wilcox Industries Corp. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
