Domain Collection: The principle focus of this report is to create a somewhat focused patent landscape around the pulse oximetry intellectual property domain. The domain collection for this report was created by matching the phrase "pulse oximetry" in the title, abstract, or claims (but not in the description section) of the patent documents available in Google’s BigQuery data warehouse in the patents.publications dataset. Matching this phrase in any of the specified sections will include that patent document in the domain collection. Limiting the query to the title, abstract, and claims, and not also searching the description section, is intended to narrow the search to better identify patent documents with inventions that focused on pulse oximetry technology, and not include documents that mention that phrase simply as part of some background or overview explanation included in the patent document description section. The patent documents query was executed on a worldwide basis across all US and international patent documents contained in Google’s dataset. See the Summary of All Patent Documents in the Domain Collection for more information or to execute additional queries into the domain collection documents.
-
"pulse oximetry" – matched on a worldwide basis in patent documents title, abstract, or claims, but NOT the description section.
-
The resulting domain collection consists of 3,526 total documents of which there are 2,515 patent applications and 1,250 granted patents.
-
Patenting Activity: Patenting activity in this domain collection began in 1986 and continued at a relatively low level (less than 50 applications per year) until 2001, when activity increased somewhat significantly and more than doubled on a year-over-year basis. The first patents filed in this domain collection are a pair of applications by Physio Control Corporation in August of 1986 ( app # US4859056A entitled “Multiple-pulse Method and Apparatus for Use in Oximetry” and app # US4913150A entitled “Method and Apparatus for the Automatic Calibration of Signals Employed in Oximetry” ). Physio Control was a manufacturer of external defibrillators headquartered in Redmond, Washington. The company was purchased by Medtronic in 1998 and then subsequently sold to Bain Capital in 2011 , which most recently sold Physio Control to Stryker Corporation in 2016. Since 2001, patenting activity has remained relatively high (~100-200+ applications per year, and ~30-70+ granted patents per year) but somewhat variable, without any consistent growth trends. The most current annual numbers generally indicate that there are approximately 130 to 190 new applications and 40 to 60 granted patents annually. See the Domain Collection Date Coverage Table and the Patenting Trends Timeline for the Domain Collection .
-
Patenting Trends: The pendency period for granted patents (i.e. the time between application and patent approval), over the most active filing period from 2001 to 2020, has varied from 5 years to as low as ~2.5 years. The most recent consistent trend since 2015 is indicating a pendency period that’s approximately 2.5 to 3 years. This indicates that the most recent 2.5 to 3 years of data in the patenting trend charts ( Patenting Trends Timeline for the Domain Collection ), 2020-2023, are very likely incomplete data. As a result, the Applications and Granted Patents Timeline is indicating generally flat patent application filing trends with 130 to 190 new applications filed annually. The granted patent approval percentage trend since 2001 has remained relatively flat at approximately 30%-35%, which is 40 to 60 granted patents annually. See the Approval Rate (%) and Pendency Period charts. The flat application filing trends combined with the flat approval rate, together indicate a generally stable patenting environment.

Top Inventors & Their Assignees: Of the 10 leading inventors, all but two are principally associated with either Masimo Corporation or Medtronic (via Nellcor Puritan Bennett, its inclusion in Tyco’s Covidien spin-out , and subsequent acquisition by Medtronic ). Masimo and Medtronic are the two leading assignees in this domain collection (see below). The leading inventor in this domain collection is clearly Ammar Al-Ali, who is listed on 184 patent documents, twice as many as the 2 nd ranked inventor. Ammar Al-Ali is the Chief Engineer and long-time researcher for Masimo Corporation and looks to have also held development positions at Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. Cercacor is an independent business that was spun-out from Masimo in 1998 but continues to cross-license its developed technologies to Masimo. Joe Kiani is currently the CEO of both Masimo Corporation and Cercacor Laboratories. The 2 nd ranked inventor is Paul Mannheimer , who is listed on 92 patents and was a long-time Chief Scientist for Nellcor/Covidien, which as noted above is today part of Medtronic . Nellcor Puritan Bennett was part of Tyco’s Covidien spin-out in 2007 and Covidien was acquired by Medtronic in 2014. The 3 rd ranked inventor is Matthew Banet , who is listed on 67 patent documents, mostly assigned to toSense Inc. toSense was a medtech company focused on sensors and software applications for non-invasive patient monitoring that was based in La Jolla, California. In 2020, toSense was acquired by Baxter International . Mr. Banet was the Founder, President, and Chief Scientific Officer for toSense and is currently CEO of a startup named Bloodmetrix, in San Diego. The 4 th ranked inventor is Paul Addison , listed on 66 patent documents with most of those assigned to Medtronic (via Nellcor Puritan Bennett). Mr. Addison was a long-time scientist for Nellcor/Covidien and is currently the Chief Scientist for Medtronic’s Patient Monitoring group. The 5 th ranked inventor is Marshal Dhillon , listed on 63 patent documents, mostly assigned with toSense Inc. Mr. Dhillon was the CTO of toSense and is currently Senior Vice President of Engineering for BioIntelliSense, Inc , a remote patient medical monitoring system company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Further analysis of the Top Inventors list show that many individuals ranked in the top 50 are also principally associated with either Masimo, Medtronic, or toSense, in additional a number of other companies such as Philips N.V. , Sotera Wireless Inc. (see also Triage Wireless, Inc. Becomes Sotera Wireless, Inc. ), Zoll Medical Corporation , Raydiant Oximetry Inc. , and others. F or more information see the Top Inventors and Principal Assignees table and the complete list of 2,840 inventors.

IP Competitive Landscape (Top Assignees): The top assignee in this domain collection is clearly Medtronic PLC via the patent documents with listed assignees of Covidien and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, and Masimo Corporation is the 2 nd ranked assignee. The 3 rd ranked assignee (listed 5 th in the Top Assignees table) is Philips N.V. , a multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The 4 th ranked assignee is Raydiant Oximetry, Inc. , a smaller private company headquartered in San Ramon, California that’s focused on noninvasive sensor technology for electronic fetal monitoring. The 5 th ranked assignee (listed 9 th in the Top Assignees table) is actually General Electric via its GE Healthcare division, which acquired Datex Ohmeda Inc. (the listed assignee in the Top Assignees table) via its acquisition of Instrumentarium Corporation . Other notable assignees in the top 10 include Baxter International , Zoll Medical Corporation , and Sotera, Inc. (Sotera Wireless Inc.) . For more information see the Top Assignees table and the complete list of 1,568 assignees.

Top Cited Patent Documents & Citation Assignees: The vast majority of the top cited patent documents in this domain collection belong to Masimo Corporation and reflect the fundmantal research and intellectual property development that the company has executed over the course of its evolution. The top 10 most cited patent documents date back to the late 1990s and early 2000s. The most cited patent document is granted patent US-6684090-B2 entitled “Pulse Oximetry Data Confidence Indicator” , which was granted to Masimo in January of 2004. This patent expired in February of 2020. Of the top 10 patent document citations, all were approved as granted patents and all have since expired as enforceable intellectual property. However, these patent documents, and all the others in the citations table, still serve as prior art references to new technology developments in this IP sector, so its generally a good idea for new technology developers to be at least somewhat familiar with these older patent document citations. See the Top 100 Patent Document Citations table for more information. When the top 100 patent document citations are sorted by assignee, Masimo obviously shows as the assignee with the most prominent citations portfolio. The only other assignee of note ranking in the top citations portfolio list is Sensidyne, Inc., which was acquired by Schauenburg Group in 2008 . See the Top Patent Document Citations, Sorted by Assignee table for more information. Also review the Top Non-Patent Literature Citations table for the top 100 citations from articles, research reports and media references.
-
Top Technology Classification Codes: The top inventive CPC technology classification codes for this domain collection focus on medical diagnostics, healthcare informatics, and sensor technology specifically designed for the body. The top CPC group code of A61B5 (“Diagnosis, Surgery, Identification – detecting, measuring, or recording for diagnostic purposes”) focuses on the medical diagnostics aspects and encompasses the physiological monitoring inventions involved in pulse oximetry. The CPC group number of G16H (“Healthcare Informatics, i.e. information and communication technology specifically adapted for the handling or processing of medical or healthcare data”) and its various sub-classifications group codes all encompass the healthcare informatics inventions and essentially represent unique techniques to process the collected pulse oximetry data. Finally, the A61M16 group code number (“Devices for Introducing Media Into, or Onto the Body”) represent the body sensor technology. See the Top Inventive CPC Group Code Numbers table for more information and the list of the top 250 CPC classification codes with descriptions searchable via keywords and phrases. It is also possible to use the Patent Documents Summary table to search on the applied CPC codes to find specific patent documents to which certain CPC codes have been applied.

Additional Domain Collection Queries:
-
Executing additional queries into the domain collection, via the Summary of All Patent Documents table, can often provide additional insight into sub-topics contained in the domain collection that may be of more specific interest. This can be accomplished by showing the relevant sections of the patent documents (title, abstract, or claims) or additional metadata fields, and executing additional keyword, key phrase, or parameter queries via the provided column search fields. Whenever switching between shown and hidden column fields, it’s important to clear the column field search box before hiding the field. Entering data into multiple column search fields will produce the ANDed results of those separate searches. So, if a field column is then hidden with a value or keyword in the search field box, that will still be applied in the ANDed search results. Also remember that the “Patent Claims Text” field is only available for US patent documents, not international patent documents, as supplied via Google’s BigQuery patent dataset. Below are some examples.
-
For example, say we’re interested in finding all patent documents with a filing date year of 2020 that also contains the word “fetal ” in the title of the document. With the fields shown as indicated below (green highlighted fields are show in the table), we can use the search fields above each column to execute an ANDed query into the table of patent documents. Entering the year “2020” in the “PatApp Filing Date” column search and “fetal ” into the “Patent Title” column search will show all patent documents matching both of those parameters. There are 12 matching results of which 5 are shown below. Of the 12 results, 10 are patent documents with Raydiant Oximetry Inc. as the assignee.
-
-
In addition, say we’re interested in finding all patent documents that have the phrase “ear canal” in the abstract of the document. First, we show the “Patent Abstract Text” field and then enter the phrase “ear canal” (enclosed in quotes) as show below. This indicate that there are 16 patent documents that match this query, of which 5 are shown below.

- This is a table summarizing the date coverage, listing the earliest and most recent dates for filed patent applications, published documents, granted patents, and priority dates. This table provides some basic context to help profile the domain collection and summarizes the date ranges of documents included in the analysis.
- Provides a table summarizing the geographic distribution of patent applications and granted patents by country contained in the domain collection. This table is also provided to help profile the documents included in the analysis.
- Google's BigQuery 'patents.publications' data table contains full text information (titles, abstracts, descriptions, and claims) on US patent documents but only titles and abstracts on international patent documents. As of the date of this report, the BigQuery data table does not contain full text descriptions and claims for international patent documents. As a result, the geographic coverage insights can vary depending on the type of query that was used to generate the domain collection. Semantic keyword or key phrase matching queries that include international patent documents, only query and match those keywords and phrases across the titles and abstracts of those international documents. Thus, the results for semantic queries may be biased toward US patent documents.

- Shows a bar chart timeline of the number of patent applications and granted patents, and provides a concise view of the historic patenting trends embodied in the domain collection. In addition, line charts show the timelines for the approval percentages and pendency periods. These charts can be used to assess the competitive nature of the patenting environment for the domain collection IP segment.
- More specifically, the bar chart shows the number of patent applications filed on an annual basis beginning with the earliest application in the domain collection and ending with the most recent filing in the domain collection.
- The granted patent totals have been time-shifted so that the granted patents align with the corresponding applications and thus correctly reflect the granted patents resulting from the applications of a given year.
- The pendency period line chart can be used to assess the validity of the data shown in the applications and granted patents bar chart as well as the approval percentages line chart. For example, with most patenting authorities, such as the USPTO, there is some delay in publishing patent applications and typically a longer time period between application and granted patent (pendency time). For the USPTO, most patent applications are published 18 months after the filing date and pendency times for granted patents can be 24 months or longer. This typically indicates that the most recent 18 to 24+ months of data reflects only partial results.
- Note that the horizontal axis may not reflect a consecutive linear year progression if there were years where there was no patenting activity and no data exists.
- If the domain collection represents a mix of international patent documents, note that these patent documents are often subject to varying examination and approval procedures of different worldwide patenting authorities, which can result in skewed data for the charts below. For example, patent documents from China, that utilize China's utility model patent process, can have notably shorter pendency periods, which can skew the pendency results shown below.

- Provides a table with the same information as the previous Top Patent Document Citations table, except this table is sorted by assignee and is designed to identify the assignees with most significant intellectual property positions across the domain collection based on the total number of citations. This table aims to clearly show the corporations, educational institutions, individuals, or other entities that have broad positions in the IP sector profiled by the domain collection.
- Like the previous table, the “Number of Patent Docs” column indicates the number of times the citation was referenced across all applications in the domain collection.
- The “Tot Num of Patent Docs” column indicates the total number of patent application citations on an assignee basis. This number is computed by examining the citations per assignee and then summing the number of times those citations are referenced across the domain collection. The default sorting of the table ranks assignees in descending order of “Tot Num of Patent Docs” and thus provides an indication of the assignee’s intellectual property position in the domain area.

- Provides a table of the top inventive CPC group codes and CPC group numbers (and respective CPC titles) that are assigned to patent documents included in the domain collection. This table essentially provides two levels of description into the inventive ideas embodied in the domain collection and is designed to provide some technological descriptive context to the patent documents of the IP segment profiled.
- The CPC group code is shown as the first four alphanumberic characters of the "CPC Group Code Number" field. This represents a macro-level description of the inventive ideas. The CPC group number is represented as the numeric digits following the group code and represents an additional level of detail. Thus the "CPC Group Title" and "CPC Group Number Title" together provide two levels of description of the inventive technologies used in patent documents across the domain collection.
- The “Percent of Top 250 Group Numbers” column indicates the concentration of the inventive ideas in the designated CPC group number across the top 250 group numbers in the domain collection. Patent documents can be assigned multiple CPC codes representing potentially different inventive ideas embodied in the document.
