Portfolio overview

COLD Chain, Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing COLD Chain, Llc at rank #34,705 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25D (REFRIGERATORS; COLD ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; COOLING OR FREEZING APPARATUS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, COLD Chain, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, COLD sits between CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Company Limited (7 patents, rank #34,701) and Colorobbia Italia S.p.a. (7 patents, rank #34,709) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.7/100 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 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. COLD Chain, Llc's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark COLD Chain, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
