Portfolio overview

BMT Limited has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BMT Limited at rank #39,106 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16L (PIPES; JOINTS OR FITTINGS FOR PIPES; SUPPORTS FOR PIPES, CABLES OR PROTECTIVE TUBING; MEANS FOR THERMAL INSULATION IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, BMT Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BMT sits between Bluenix Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #39,102) and Boardriders IP Holdings, Llc (6 patents, rank #39,110) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.7/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. BMT Limited's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BMT Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

BMT's 6 grants land it in the top 58% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - BMT ranks #39,106 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F16L - see who else leads that technology area. F16L leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
