Portfolio overview

Exo Imaging, Inc. has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Exo Imaging, Inc. at rank #6,143 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Exo Imaging, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Exo sits between East Carolina University (55 patents, rank #6,139) and Florida A&M University (55 patents, rank #6,147) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.8/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 55 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Exo Imaging, Inc.'s 23.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Exo Imaging, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
