Where Blackstar's grants concentrate

Blackstar Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). By volume, Blackstar sits between Black Rapid, Inc. and BleepBleeps Limited.

Blackstar's three-year grant acceleration

Blackstar Corp. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
