Does more volume mean deeper claims for Topgolf?
Each dot is one of Topgolf’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). Topgolf’s own 4.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Topgolf's grants concentrate
Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 43.7% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (76 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2022. By volume, Topgolf sits between Stine Seed Farm, Inc. and Datalogic IP Tech S.R.L..
Topgolf's three-year grant acceleration
Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. shows 144 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
