Does more volume mean deeper claims for Easton?
Each dot is one of Easton’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). Easton’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Easton's grants concentrate
Easton Diamond Sports, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 76.2% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Easton sits between Drnc Holdings, Inc. and Fiserv, Inc..
Easton's three-year grant acceleration
Easton Diamond Sports, LLC shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
