Portfolio overview

Glydways Inc. has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Glydways Inc. at #13,448 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G05D (SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING OR REGULATING NON-ELECTRIC VARIABLES). As a US Corporation, Glydways Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Glydways sits between Genesis Advanced Technology Inc. (22 patents, rank #13,444) and Hefei BOE Display Light Co., Ltd. (22 patents, rank #13,452) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 22 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Glydways Inc.'s 19.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 17 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
