Portfolio overview

Gauthier Biomedical, Inc has been granted 50 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Gauthier Biomedical, Inc at rank #6,657 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25G (HANDLES FOR HAND IMPLEMENTS). As a US Corporation, Gauthier Biomedical, Inc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Gauthier sits between GEMA Switzerland Gmbh (50 patents, rank #6,653) and Hoffman Enclosures Inc. (50 patents, rank #6,661) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.8/100 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 26 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Gauthier Biomedical, Inc's 5.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Gauthier Biomedical, Inc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
