Portfolio overview

Goodrich Corporation has been granted 1,557 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Goodrich Corporation at rank #276 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 259 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64D (EQUIPMENT FOR FITTING IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; FLIGHT SUITS; PARACHUTES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF POWER PLANTS OR PROPULSION TRANSMISSIONS IN AIRCRAFT). As a US Corporation, Goodrich Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Goodrich sits between Wuhan China STAR Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (1,572 patents, rank #272) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (1,534 patents, rank #280) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.3/100 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 944 grants, compared with 613 in the 2015–2019 window, a +54% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Goodrich Corporation's 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Goodrich Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
