The verdict
Climate holds 265 US patents across 45 technology areas, rank #1,564 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Climate Llc has been granted 265 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Climate Llc at rank #1,564 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01B (SOIL WORKING IN AGRICULTURE OR FORESTRY; PARTS, DETAILS, OR ACCESSORIES OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES OR IMPLEMENTS, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Climate Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Climate sits between Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations, Inc. (266 patents, rank #1,560) and AI Incorporated (264 patents, rank #1,568) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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 205 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window, a +242% 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. Climate Llc's 19.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 45 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Climate Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Climate's 265 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
