Portfolio overview

Goodrich Lighting Systems, Inc. has been granted 150 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Goodrich Lighting Systems, Inc. at rank #2,590 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 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 Lighting Systems, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Goodrich sits between Canon Production Printing Holding B.v. (150 patents, rank #2,586) and New Jersey Institute Of Technology (150 patents, rank #2,594) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.6/100 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 66 grants, compared with 84 in the 2015–2019 window, a -21% 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. Goodrich Lighting Systems, Inc.'s 15.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Goodrich Lighting Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
