Portfolio overview

Gala Industies, Inc. has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Gala Industies, Inc. at rank #9,775 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29B (PREPARATION OR PRETREATMENT OF THE MATERIAL TO BE SHAPED; MAKING GRANULES OR PREFORMS; RECOVERY OF PLASTICS OR OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF WASTE MATERIAL CONTAINING PLASTICS). As a US Corporation, Gala Industies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Gala sits between Fractus Antennas, S.l. (32 patents, rank #9,771) and Hamanakodenso Co., Ltd. (32 patents, rank #9,779) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.6/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 5 grants, compared with 27 in the 2015–2019 window, a -81% 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. Gala Industies, Inc.'s 20.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, 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 Gala Industies, Inc. 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.
