The verdict
Real holds 13 US patents across 3 technology areas, rank #21,686 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Real Action Paintball, Inc (rap4) has been granted 13 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Real Action Paintball, Inc (rap4) at rank #21,686 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in F41B (WEAPONS FOR PROJECTING MISSILES WITHOUT USE OF EXPLOSIVE OR COMBUSTIBLE PROPELLANT CHARGE; WEAPONS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Real Action Paintball, Inc (rap4) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Real sits between Radiawave Technologies Co., Ltd. (13 patents, rank #21,682) and Redwood Robotics Inc. (13 patents, rank #21,690) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Real Action Paintball, Inc (rap4)'s 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Real Action Paintball, Inc (rap4) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Real's 13 grants land it in the top 83% 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.
