The verdict
Global holds 7 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #35,461 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Global Apparel Partners Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Global Apparel Partners Inc. at rank #35,461 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in D04B (KNITTING). As a US Corporation, Global Apparel Partners Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Global sits between Gleason Metrology Systems Corporation (7 patents, rank #35,457) and Global Power Technologies Group (7 patents, rank #35,465) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 7 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. Global Apparel Partners Inc.'s 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Global Apparel Partners Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Global's 7 grants land it in the top 22% 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.
