Portfolio overview
Cloud Microphones, Llc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cloud Microphones, Llc. at rank #28,474 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Cloud Microphones, Llc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cloud sits between Clarcor Engine Mobile Solutions, Llc (9 patents, rank #28,470) and Cognex Technology And Investment Llc (9 patents, rank #28,478) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 24.7/100 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 5 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Cloud Microphones, Llc.'s 12.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cloud Microphones, Llc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
