Does more volume mean deeper claims for Kankakee?
Each dot is one of Kankakee’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). Kankakee’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 11.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Kankakee's grants concentrate
Kankakee Spikeball, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Kankakee sits between Kalita Co., Ltd. and Kara Technologies Limited.
Kankakee's three-year grant acceleration
Kankakee Spikeball, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
