The verdict
GD holds 5 US patents across 1 technology areas, rank #46,971 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
GD IND Corp. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing GD IND Corp. at rank #46,971 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63B (APPARATUS FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING, GYMNASTICS, SWIMMING, CLIMBING, OR FENCING; BALL GAMES; TRAINING EQUIPMENT). As a Foreign Corporation, GD IND Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GD sits between GCCM, Llc (5 patents, rank #46,967) and Gedia Gebrueder Dingerkus Gmbh (5 patents, rank #46,975) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.6/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 5 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. GD IND Corp.'s 6.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GD IND Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
GD's 5 grants land it in the top 55% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
