Portfolio overview

Journey1 Inc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Journey1 Inc at rank #36,049 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 30.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02C (SPECTACLES; SUNGLASSES OR GOGGLES INSOFAR AS THEY HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS SPECTACLES; CONTACT LENSES). As a US Corporation, Journey1 Inc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Journey1 sits between Johnson Health Tech Retail, Inc. (7 patents, rank #36,045) and K S Paterson Nominees PTY Ltd (7 patents, rank #36,053) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.9/100 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 7 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. Journey1 Inc's 30.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Journey1 Inc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Journey1's 7 grants land it in the top 57% 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 - Journey1 ranks #36,049 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G02C - see who else leads that technology area. G02C 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.
