The verdict
Be holds 10 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #25,887 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Be Spoon has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Be Spoon at rank #25,887 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a Foreign Corporation, Be Spoon is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Be sits between Burkert S.a.s. (10 patents, rank #25,883) and Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University (10 patents, rank #25,891) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.2/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Be Spoon's 20.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Be Spoon against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Be's 10 grants land it in the top 15% 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.
