The dataset’s leading assignee holds 19 of the 85 records in scope, well ahead of the fifth-ranked company at 7. The top five assignees together account for 78.8% of all records, meaning most of the commercially relevant claim territory sits with a small group. Below tenth place, holdings drop to single or low-single-digit counts, indicating a long tail of narrower, more specific filings rather than broad platform claims.

Filing peaked in 2018 at 15 records and has not returned to that level since, but the 2021-2024 span shows a genuine +40% increase in annual filings, from 5 to 7. Because patent publication lags filing by roughly 18 months, the 2025 and 2026 counts in any dataset will look artificially low and should not be read as a slowdown. The honest read is that momentum rebuilt through 2024, with the most recent two years still incomplete.

US12027771B2, assigned to Pharrowtech, claims a phased array module built from multiple identically-laid-out antenna boards, each carrying a matrix of antenna elements paired one-to-one with transceiver devices in an integrated circuit. The specific geometric constraint is that corner antenna elements of three adjacent boards form an equilateral triangle, with the overall matrix shaped square or rectangular. Anyone designing a tileable or modular phased array with adjacent-board corner alignment should check this claim closely, since the triangular corner geometry is a narrow but concrete mechanical limitation.
