Portfolio overview

Goodrich Actuation Systems Limited has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Goodrich Actuation Systems Limited at rank #3,013 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 51 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16H (GEARING). As a Foreign Corporation, Goodrich Actuation Systems Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Goodrich sits between Dena Co., Ltd. (126 patents, rank #3,009) and Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (126 patents, rank #3,017) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.2/100 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 97 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window, a +234% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Goodrich Actuation Systems Limited's 10.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 51 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Goodrich Actuation Systems Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
