USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 870 granted patents across 260 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION).
The verdict
Georgia holds 870 US patents across 260 technology areas, rank #516 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Georgia Tech Research Corporation has been granted 870 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Georgia Tech Research Corporation at rank #516 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 260 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a US Corporation, Georgia Tech Research Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Georgia sits between Charter Communications Operating, Llc (878 patents, rank #512) and Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited (864 patents, rank #520) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.5/100 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 504 grants, compared with 366 in the 2015–2019 window, a +38% 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. Georgia Tech Research Corporation's 19.0 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 Georgia Tech Research Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Georgia's 870 grants land it in the top 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.
