Portfolio overview

Protocol Environmental Solutions, Inc. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing Protocol Environmental Solutions, Inc. at rank #42,471 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C04B (LIME, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF, e.g. MORTARS, CONCRETE OR LIKE BUILDING MATERIALS; ARTIFICIAL STONE ; CERAMICS ; REFRACTORIES; TREATMENT OF NATURAL STONE). As a Foreign Corporation, Protocol Environmental Solutions, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Protocol sits between Protection Products, Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,467) and Psikick, Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,475) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.1/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign 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. Protocol Environmental Solutions, Inc.'s 13.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Protocol Environmental Solutions, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
