Portfolio overview

GSK Consumer Healthcare SARL has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2020 and 2023, placing GSK Consumer Healthcare SARL at rank #24,392 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, GSK Consumer Healthcare SARL is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GSK sits between GRI BIO, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,388) and Guangzhou Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #24,396) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2023, with 11 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. GSK Consumer Healthcare SARL's 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GSK Consumer Healthcare SARL against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
