USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 34 granted patents across 18 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR).
The verdict
GEOX holds 34 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #9,266 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
GEOX S.p.a. has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing GEOX S.p.a. at rank #9,266 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR). As a Foreign Corporation, GEOX S.p.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GEOX sits between Freudenberg-nok General Partnership (34 patents, rank #9,262) and Glassimetal Technology, Inc. (34 patents, rank #9,270) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.1/100 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 15 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -21% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. GEOX S.p.a.'s 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GEOX S.p.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
GEOX's 34 grants land it in the top 14% 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.
