Overview:

  • Domain Collection: The principle focus of this report is to create a slightly narrowed patent analytics landscape around the wearable medical and wearable healthcare technology domain. The domain collection for this report was created using the keyword phrases shown below as the boolean query into Google’s BigQuery ‘patents.publications’ dataset. Patent documents included in the domain collection are those that match the boolean query (below) in either the document title, abstract, or claims, but NOT in the description section. This patent landscape analytics report is slightly narrower than the initial version of this report that was published on my Medium media channel as Connected Health Wearables Patent Landscape or on my Moeller Ventures website as Health / Medical Wearables Patent Landscape - Keyword / Key Phrase Domain Collection . These other reports matched these exact keyword phrases across the titles, abstracts, claims, and also the patent document descriptions. The emphasis of this report in narrowing the query to only the titles, abstracts, and claims is to attempt to better identify the patent documents with inventions that focus on wearable health and medical technology, and not include patent documents that simply mention wearable health or medical technology 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.

    • “ wearable medical” OR "wearable health" – matched on a worldwide basis in patent documents title, abstract, or claims, but NOT the description section.

    • The resulting domain collection consists of 1,425 total documents of which there are 1,107 patent applications and 447 granted patents.

  • Patenting Activity: The first patent application in this technology domain was filed in December of 1984, publication # US4640445A , for a portable and wearable medial fluid injector, and has the earliest priority date of December 1983. This patent was filed and subsequently granted to Nikkiso Co Ltd., which is a Japanese medical device company. However, patenting activity was non-existent until 1992, when the next patent was filed (publication # JPH0622981A ) for a wearable medical glove. Patenting activity remained quite low until approximately 2011, with a more substantial increase in activity beginning in 2014 and continuing through the present day. The vast majority of the patents in this domain collection have been filed from 2014 through today. The most recently granted patent contained in the domain collection is from November 2022. See the Domain Collection Date Coverage Table and the Patenting Trends Timeline for the Domain Collection .

  • Patenting Trends: The pendency period for granted patents, over the most active years starting in 2014 (to ~2020), looks to be approximately 22 to 30 months, which indicates that the most recent ~2+ years of data in the patenting trend charts ( Patenting Trends Timeline for the Domain Collection ), 2020-2023, are likely incomplete data. As a result, the Applications and Granted Patents Timeline is indicating relatively flat, but still elevated, patent application filing trends with approximately 160 to 175 new applications filed annually. The granted patent approval percentage trend since 2014 has also remained relatively flat at approximately 30%-35%, which is a fairly nominal approval rate across life science IP markets. See the Approval Rate (%) and Pendency Period charts. The relatively high-level but flat filing trends combined with the flat approval rate together indicate a competitive but stable patenting environment.

  • Top Inventors & Their Assignees: The top inventors in this domain collection all come from Zoll Medical Corporation , which also happens to be the top assignee in this IP sector (see below). In particular, the top two inventors standout more notably as being named on considerably more patent documents than even the 3 rd ranked inventor. The top inventor is Thomas Kaib, named on 125 patent document. Mr. Kaib is the former, now retired, Vice President of Engineering for Zoll Medical, where he worked for over 28 years. The 2 nd ranked inventor is Shane Volpe, who is named on 93 patent documents. Mr, Volpe looks to currently be an engineering manager for Zoll Medical, and has worked for the company for almost 19 years. The 3 rd rank inventor is Gary Freeman, named on 42 patent documents, and is currently the Vice President of Technology for Zoll Medical, where he’s worked for 34 years. See the Top Inventors and Principal Assignees table for more information and the complete list of 1,712 inventors.

  • IP Competitive Landscape (Top Assignees): The top assignee in this domain collection is clearly Zoll Medical Corporation , which is listed on four times as many patent documents than even the 2 nd ranked assignee. Zoll Medical Corporation is a division of Asahi Kasei Corporation , which is a Japanese multi-national conglomerate headquartered in Tokyo Japan. Zoll Medical focuses on medical devices, software, and related services to treat cardiopulmonary and respiratory conditions. The company is headquartered in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The 2 nd ranked assignee is West Affum Holdings Corporation. While publicly available information on West Affum Holdings is quite limited, it looks to be a patent holding company incorporated in the Grand Cayman Islands . There doesn’t seem to be significant evidence that West Affum is pursuing a licensing or litigation business model, but those remain as potential risks to this IP sector should West Affum begin enforcing its patent rights. The 3 rd ranked assignee is Becton, Dickinson and Company, now known simply as BD . Becton Dickinson is a global medical technology conglomerate that manufactures and sells medical devices, instrument systems, and reagents. The company is headquartered in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. The 4 th ranked assignee is Philips , which is a global electronics and medical device conglomerate headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The 5 th ranked assignee is Healthwatch Ltd. , which is a relatively smaller technology company focused on sensors, analytics, medical devices and is headquartered in Kfar Saba, Israel. See the Top Assignees table for more information and the complete list of 568 assignees.

  • Top Cited Patent Documents & Citation Assignees: The top 5 most-cited patent document references derived in the analytics report (publication #s US5078134A , US6681003B2 , US4928690A , US6065154A , US5944669A ), are all listed as assigned to Lifecor, Inc., which is a company that was acquired by Zoll Medical in 2006 . So effectively the top 7 most-cited patent document references are assigned to Zoll Medical. In addition, citations assigned to Lifecor, Zoll Medical, or Zoll Medical’s individual inventors are prevalent through the top 15 most-cited patent document references. See the Top 100 Patent Document Citations table for more information. However, when the top 100 patent document citations are sorted by assignee, it is Corventis, Inc. that shows as having the most significant patent portfolio position within the citations of the domain collection. Corventis focuses on wireless technologies for applications treating cardiovascular disease. Corventis was actually acquired by Medtronic in 2014. The breadth of Corventis citations in the domain collection likely emphasizes the significance of wireless technologies in the wearable medical and health IP segment. Lifecore and Zoll Medical also show as having significant positions in the patent documents cited within the domain collection. See the Top Patent Document Citations, Sorted by Assignee table for more information.

Table of Contents:

  • Summary of All Patent Documents in the Domain Collection

    • Provides an interactive, searchable, sort-able table of all patent documents in the analysis domain collection, including a variety of metadata fields pertaining to the documents. The titles, abstracts, and claims of the patent documents are also provided and can be further queried via the column-specific and overall search capabilities. This interactive table is useful in executing additional queries on the entire domain collection, such as keyword or key phrase queries on claims to find specific claims of interest, finding patent documents from specific inventors or assignees, or searching and sorting on various date fields such as filing date, grant date, or earliest priority date.

    • Duplicate patent documents, potentially filed with various international patenting authorities, have been deleted. So, there’s only one representative patent document per patent family.

    • Provides 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 timeline of the number of patent applications and granted patents, and thus shows 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.

  • Top Inventors and Principal Assignees

    • Provides a table of the top inventors listed on the patent applications contained in the domain collection and essentially identifies the top intellectual property experts of the domain area profiled. This table also lists the entities (corporations, educational institutions, etc.) to which those inventors have assigned the predominant number of patent applications, and thus identifies relationships between inventors and those assignees.

  • Top Assignees

    • Provides a table of the top assignees of patent applications contained in the domain collection and largely represents the competitive landscape from an intellectual property perspective. These assignees are the corporations, educational institutions, individuals, and other entities, that are involved in the IP sector, and thus may also be prospective development partners, investors, IP acquirers, or IP acquisition targets.

    • This table can also be helpful in identifying entities that may be patent holding companies, otherwise know as non-practicing entities (NPEs). These companies typically acquire or develop IP portfolios and then employ licensing or litigation business models that can increase costs and risks for other companies competing in the IP sector.

    • Finally, a review of the companies in the lower quartiles of this list can also identify start-ups and emerging companies that are just beginning to established patent portfolios in the IP sector.

  • Top 100 Patent Document Citations

    • Provides a table of the top 100 most cited patent document references across the domain collection and is designed to identify the most significant patent documents to the domain area profiled.

    • A cited patent document is typically a patent application or granted patent that is considered as significant (prior art, or in some way relevant) to the patent document that cites it. This table below thus represents the list of most cited patent document references on patent documents in the domain collection. These cited patent documents may or may not be in the domain collection, but nonetheless represent notable references relevant to the domain collection.

  • Top Patent Document Citations, Sorted by Assignee

    • 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.

Geographic Coverage
  • 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.
  • Total number of patent applications = 1,107

Patenting Trends of the Domain Collection
  • 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.

Top Patent Document Citations, Sorted by Assignee
  • 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.

Top Inventive CPC Group Code Numbers
  • 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.
  • Click on column headings to sort.
