Portfolio overview

GE Global Sourcing LLC has been granted 160 US utility patents between 2019 and 2022, placing GE Global Sourcing LLC at rank #2,437 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 93 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, GE Global Sourcing LLC is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.5/100 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 56 grants, compared with 104 in the 2015–2019 window — a -46% 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. GE Global Sourcing LLC's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 93 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GE Global Sourcing LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
