Overview:

  • Domain Collection: The principle focus of this report is to create a broad patent landscape around the wearable medical and wearable healthcare intellectual property domain. The broad domain collection for this report was created by simply matching the phrase “wearable health” or "wearable medical" in the title, abstract, description or claims of the patent documents available in Google’s BigQuery data warehouse in the patents.publications dataset. Either “wearable health" or "wearable medical" must be found in a document section in order to be included in the domain collection. 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.

    • wearable medical” OR "wearable health" – matched on a worldwide basis in patent documents title, abstract, description, or claims.

    • The resulting domain collection consists of 5,386 total documents of which there are 3,690 patent applications and 1,922 granted patents.

  • Patenting Activity: While the first patent application in this domain collection was filed in December of 1979, the vast majority of the new filings have occurred since 2014. 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 from 2015 to 2019, looks to be approximately 26 to 34 months, which indicates that the most recent 2-3 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 600 to 700 new applications filed annually. The granted patent approval percentage trend since ~2012 has also remained relatively flat at approximately 40%. 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 10 inventors in this domain collection come from either Zoll Medical Corporation, Cardiac Pacemakers Inc. (a subsidiary of Boston Scientific Corporation), or Valencell Inc., which also happen to be the top three assignees in this IP sector (see below). The top two inventors, Thomas Kaib and Shane Volpe, are both from Zoll Medical. Mr. Kaib is the former, now retired, Vice President of Engineering for Zoll Medical, where he worked for over 28 years and Mr. Volpe looks to currently be an engineering manager for the company. Pramodsingh Thakur, the third ranked inventor, looks to be a Senior Research Manager at Boston Scientific. The next three highest ranked inventors all come from Valencell. Steven LeBoeuf is the President and Co-founder of Valencell. Jesse Tucker is a founder and former VP of Engineering for Valencell, and Michael Aumer is the current VP of Product Management. See the Top Inventors and Principal Assignees table for more information and the complete list of 5,136 inventors.

  • IP Competitive Landscape (Top Assignees): The top assignee in this domain collection is clearly Zoll Medical Corporation, which is listed on 340 patent documents, significantly more than even the 2nd 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 2nd ranked assignee is Cardiac Pacemakers Inc., which is a subsidiary of Boston Scientific Corporation. Boston Scientific is a large, multinational, medical technology company headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The 3rd ranked assignee is Valencell Inc., which is a privately held medical technology company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. Valencell focuses on biometric sensor technology, algorithms and machine learning analytics for wearable and hearable medtech devices. Rounding out the top five assignees are IBM and Apple Inc. One additional assignee of note is West Affum Holding Corporation as the 7th ranked assignee. West Affum Holdings, which is listed on 69 patent documents, 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.

  • Top Cited Patent Documents & Citation Assignees: Five of the top 10 most-cited patent document references derived in the analytics report are listed as assigned to Lifecor, Inc. which is a company that was acquired by Zoll Medical in 2006. In addition, Zoll Medical has the 9th ranked citation, listed as assigned to the company’s inventors. Corventis, Inc. shows as having two of the top 10 ranked citations. Corventis was a wearable sensor and wireless cardiovascular solutions company headquartered in San Jose, California that was acquired by Medtronic in 2014. Of the remaining two top-10 citations, one is an abandoned application filed by Masimo Corporation and the other is a granted patent assigned to Intel Corporation that was allowed to expire due to patent maintenance fee issues. See the Top 100 Patent Document Citations table for more information.

  • 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. 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.

  • Top Technology Classification Codes: The top CPC classification codes for this domain collection indicate a focus on sensors and active therapeutics, information and data, and wireless communications based technologies, which essentially encompass the overall wearable medical / health objective of monitoring or applying biological physiology, analyzing that information, and communication for potential follow-up. The most applied CPC group code number is A61B5 (Diagnosis; Surgery; Identification) and along with AC1B7 and A61M5 (Devices for introducing media into, or onto, the body) account for the sensor-type innovations. Therapeutic wearable devices are represented by CPC code A61N1 (Electrotherapy; magnetotherapy; radiation therapy; ultrasound therapy). The information and data processing innovations are represented by Group Code G16H (Healthcare Informatics) with Group numbers 10, 20, 40, 50, and Group Code Number G06F19 (Electronic Digital Data Processing). Finally, wireless communication innovations are represented under Group Code Number H04W4. 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.

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.

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.
