Portfolio overview

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has been granted 1,309 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company at rank #330 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 105 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60C (VEHICLE TYRES; TYRE INFLATION; TYRE CHANGING; CONNECTING VALVES TO INFLATABLE ELASTIC BODIES IN GENERAL; DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS RELATED TO TYRES). As a US Corporation, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 59.6/100 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 552 grants, compared with 757 in the 2015–2019 window — a -27% 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. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's 7.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
