USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 11 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME).
The verdict
Malema holds 11 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #24,780 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Malema Engineering Corporation has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Malema Engineering Corporation at rank #24,780 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME). As a US Corporation, Malema Engineering Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Malema sits between Maglev Aero Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,776) and Markport Limited (11 patents, rank #24,784) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.5/100 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 7 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Malema Engineering Corporation's 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Malema Engineering Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Malema's 11 grants land it in the top 38% 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.
