Portfolio overview

GAF Energy Llc has been granted 77 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing GAF Energy Llc at rank #4,558 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02B (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO BUILDINGS, e.g. HOUSING, HOUSE APPLIANCES OR RELATED END-USER APPLICATIONS). As a US Corporation, GAF Energy Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GAF sits between Credo Technology Group Limited (77 patents, rank #4,554) and Hunan Brunp Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. (77 patents, rank #4,562) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.6/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 77 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. GAF Energy Llc's 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GAF Energy Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
