USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 3 technology areas, active 2016–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
Clover holds 10 US patents across 3 technology areas, rank #25,979 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Clover LEAF Environmental Solutions, Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing Clover LEAF Environmental Solutions, Inc. at rank #25,979 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Clover LEAF Environmental Solutions, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Clover sits between Claber S.p.a. (10 patents, rank #25,975) and Cofco (jilin) Bio-chemical Technology Co., Ltd (10 patents, rank #25,983) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 23.6/100 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 4 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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. Clover LEAF Environmental Solutions, Inc.'s 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Clover LEAF Environmental Solutions, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Clover's 10 grants land it in the top 87% 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.
