Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc. has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc. at rank #9,354 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63B (APPARATUS FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING, GYMNASTICS, SWIMMING, CLIMBING, OR FENCING; BALL GAMES; TRAINING EQUIPMENT). As a US Corporation, Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rawlings sits between Perkinelmer Health Sciences Canada, Inc. (34 patents, rank #9,350) and Rebiotix Inc. (34 patents, rank #9,358) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.2/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 18 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc.'s 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Rawlings's 34 grants land it in the top 39% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
