Portfolio overview
Bard Access Systems, Inc. has been granted 173 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bard Access Systems, Inc. at rank #2,261 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Bard Access Systems, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.1/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 152 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window — a +624% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Bard Access Systems, Inc.'s 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bard Access Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
