Assignees Race Bar Chart:
Below is the race bar chart for the top assignees of the patent document domain collection covering wearable medical / healthcare technology. Click HERE to see the full patent document landscape analytics report.
Domain Collection: The domain collection for this report was created using the keyword phrases “ wearable medical” OR "wearable health" 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 in either the document title, abstract, or claims, but NOT in the description section. 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.
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.
