USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 994 granted patents across 121 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
GE holds 994 US patents across 121 technology areas, rank #455 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
GE Precision Healthcare Llc has been granted 994 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing GE Precision Healthcare Llc at rank #455 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 121 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, GE Precision Healthcare Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GE sits between Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. (1,008 patents, rank #451) and Snowflake Inc. (984 patents, rank #459) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 78.2/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 994 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 Precision Healthcare Llc's 15.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GE Precision Healthcare Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
GE's 994 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
