The verdict
Gulfstream holds 368 US patents across 124 technology areas, rank #1,151 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation has been granted 368 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation at rank #1,151 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 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, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Gulfstream sits between AAC Optics Solutions Pte. Ltd. (369 patents, rank #1,147) and YEDA Research AND Development Co. Ltd. (368 patents, rank #1,155) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.4/100 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 211 grants, compared with 157 in the 2015–2019 window, a +34% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation's 13.5 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 Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Gulfstream's 368 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
