What this shows adidas's Innovation Score is 41.1/100 (top 34% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for adidas?

Each dot is one of adidas’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). adidas’s own 26.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where adidas's grants concentrate

adidas International Marketing B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, adidas sits between Zoppas Industries de Mexico S.A., de C.V. and bredent GmbH & Co. KG.

adidas's three-year grant acceleration

adidas International Marketing B.V. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
