Portfolio overview

BFLY Operations, Inc. has been granted 124 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing BFLY Operations, Inc. at rank #3,060 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, BFLY Operations, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BFLY sits between Acceleron Pharma Inc. (124 patents, rank #3,056) and Continental Automotive Technologies Gmbh (124 patents, rank #3,064) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.6/100 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 124 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. BFLY Operations, Inc.'s 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BFLY Operations, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
