The verdict
Clear-vu holds 7 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #34,693 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Clear-vu Lighting Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2019, placing Clear-vu Lighting Llc at rank #34,693 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21V (FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OR DETAILS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF; STRUCTURAL COMBINATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OTHER ARTICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Clear-vu Lighting Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Clear-vu sits between Citel (7 patents, rank #34,689) and Cloudinary Ltd. (7 patents, rank #34,697) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Clear-vu Lighting Llc's 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Clear-vu Lighting Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Clear-vu's 7 grants land it in the top 70% 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.
