Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sports?
Each dot is one of Sports’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). Sports’s own 4.7 claims/patent is at or below the 8.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Sports's grants concentrate
Sports Art Industrial Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sports sits between Southwest University of Science and Technology and Stephen P. Shoemaker Trust.
Sports's three-year grant acceleration
Sports Art Industrial Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
