Overall rank by patents
#10,903
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 28 granted patents across 15 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F23D (BURNERS).
ClearSign Technologies Corporation has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing ClearSign Technologies Corporation at rank #10,903 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 34.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in F23D (BURNERS). As a US Corporation, ClearSign Technologies Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 28 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. ClearSign Technologies Corporation's 34.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ClearSign Technologies Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
