Portfolio overview

GM Global Technologies Operations Llc has been granted 21 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing GM Global Technologies Operations Llc at #14,012 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, GM Global Technologies Operations Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GM sits between Giftedness AND Creativity Company (21 patents, rank #14,001) and Guangzhou T.k Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. (21 patents, rank #14,009) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.0/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 2 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -89% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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. GM Global Technologies Operations Llc's 13.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 29 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
