What this shows Sport's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sport?

Each dot is one of Sport’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). Sport’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sport's grants concentrate

Sport Maska Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under A43B (Characteristic Features OF FOOTWEAR; Parts OF Footwear). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Sport sits between PSA Automobiles SA and Suunto Oy.

Sport's three-year grant acceleration

Sport Maska Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
