Portfolio overview

FREE Bionics Taiwan Inc. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing FREE Bionics Taiwan Inc. at rank #40,216 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61H (PHYSICAL THERAPY APPARATUS, e.g. DEVICES FOR LOCATING OR STIMULATING REFLEX POINTS IN THE BODY; ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; BATHING DEVICES FOR SPECIAL THERAPEUTIC OR HYGIENIC PURPOSES OR SPECIFI). As a Foreign Corporation, FREE Bionics Taiwan Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, FREE sits between Foundation FOR Research AND Technology—hellas (f.o.r.t.h.) Institute OF Computer Science (i.c.s.) (6 patents, rank #40,212) and Freudenberg Performance Materials B.v. (6 patents, rank #40,220) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.2/100 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 2024, with 6 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. FREE Bionics Taiwan Inc.'s 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FREE Bionics Taiwan Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
