Portfolio overview

GACW Incorporated has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing GACW Incorporated at #13,435 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60B (VEHICLE WHEELS ; CASTORS; AXLES FOR WHEELS OR CASTORS; INCREASING WHEEL ADHESION). As a US Corporation, GACW Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GACW sits between Forza Silicon Corporation (22 patents, rank #13,429) and Gessi S.p.a. (22 patents, rank #13,437) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 22 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. GACW Incorporated's 21.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 12 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
