As a US Corporation, Clear Demand, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Clear sits between Citigroup Inc.

Clear Demand, Inc.'s 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Clear Demand, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
