Does more volume mean deeper claims for USA?
Each dot is one of USA’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). USA’s own 2.4 claims/patent is at or below the 10.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where USA's grants concentrate
USA Sports, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 12.5% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, USA sits between Universite DE Droit ET DE LA Sante DE Lille 2 and Uplay1.
USA's three-year grant acceleration
USA Sports, Inc. shows 2 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.
