Portfolio overview

GOLBA LLC has been granted 113 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing GOLBA LLC at rank #3,303 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a US Corporation, GOLBA LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.7/100 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 54 grants, compared with 59 in the 2015–2019 window — a -8% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. GOLBA LLC's 23.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GOLBA LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
