USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 156 granted patents across 2 technology areas, active 2021–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION).
The verdict
B1 holds 156 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #2,499 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc. has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc. at rank #2,499 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, B1 sits between Zhejiang Sunny Optics Co., Ltd (157 patents, rank #2,495) and MS Technologies (156 patents, rank #2,503) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 156 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc.'s 7.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark B1 Institute OF Image Technology, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
B1's 156 grants land it in the top 20% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
