The verdict
Topgolf holds 252 US patents across 38 technology areas, rank #1,635 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. has been granted 252 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. at rank #1,635 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.7 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, Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Topgolf sits between Stine Seed Farm, Inc. (253 patents, rank #1,631) and Datalogic IP Tech S.r.l. (251 patents, rank #1,639) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 252 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.'s 4.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Topgolf's 252 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
