Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 23 granted patents across 18 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: Y02P (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS).
The verdict
Natural holds 23 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #13,074 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Natural Fiber Welding, Inc. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Natural Fiber Welding, Inc. at rank #13,074 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02P (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS). As a US Corporation, Natural Fiber Welding, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Natural sits between Nixon, Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,070) and Network Integrity Systems, Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,078) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.5/100 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 21 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +950% 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. Natural Fiber Welding, Inc.'s 19.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Natural Fiber Welding, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Natural's 23 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
