Portfolio overview

GE Phosphors Technology, Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing GE Phosphors Technology, Llc at rank #40,360 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09K (MATERIALS FOR MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS, NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE). As a US Corporation, GE Phosphors Technology, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GE sits between GCS German Capsule Solution Gmbh (6 patents, rank #40,356) and GEBO Packaging Solutions Italy SRL (6 patents, rank #40,364) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 23.6/100 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 0 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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 Phosphors Technology, Llc's 8.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GE Phosphors Technology, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
