What this shows Biological Illumination, Llc stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #15,149 of 50,000; Innovation Score 36.4/100 sits in the top 46% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Best Pacific Textile Ltd. (±0 grants).
Biological Illumination, Llc has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Biological Illumination, Llc at #15,149 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Biological Illumination, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Biological sits between Best Pacific Textile Ltd. (19 patents, rank #15,151) and Blackfire Research Corporation (19 patents, rank #15,159) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 0 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Biological Illumination, Llc's 19.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 16 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
