Portfolio overview
Wilson Sporting Goods Co. has been granted 155 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Wilson Sporting Goods Co. at rank #2,520 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 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, Wilson Sporting Goods Co. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 48.1/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 67 grants, compared with 88 in the 2015–2019 window — a -24% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Wilson Sporting Goods Co.'s 16.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wilson Sporting Goods Co. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
