Portfolio overview

Alclear, Llc has been granted 78 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Alclear, Llc at rank #4,501 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Alclear, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Alclear sits between Vitra Patente Ag (79 patents, rank #4,497) and Basso Industry Corp. (78 patents, rank #4,505) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.4/100 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 62 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +288% 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. Alclear, Llc's 20.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Alclear, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
