USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 261 granted patents across 50 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES).
The verdict
Beth holds 261 US patents across 50 technology areas, rank #1,584 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. has been granted 261 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. at rank #1,584 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 50 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Beth sits between Microjet Technology Co., Ltd. (262 patents, rank #1,580) and Brocade Communications Systems Llc (260 patents, rank #1,588) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.5/100 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 120 grants, compared with 141 in the 2015–2019 window, a -15% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc.'s 18.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 50 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Beth's 261 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
