What this shows Natural Gas Solutions North America, Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #10,701 of 50,000; Innovation Score 41.1/100 sits in the top 34% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is National Yunlin University Of Science And Technology (±0 grants).
Natural Gas Solutions North America, Llc has been granted 29 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Natural Gas Solutions North America, Llc at #10,701 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME). As a US Corporation, Natural Gas Solutions North America, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Natural sits between Noodoe Group Inc. (29 patents, rank #10,700) and Ningbo Fotile Kitchen Ware Co., Ltd. (29 patents, rank #10,708) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 18 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +64% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Natural Gas Solutions North America, Llc's 14.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 30 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
