Introducing: The 2025 BCI Competitive Intelligence Report

The competitive intelligence that used to take teams of researchers months to compile—now immediately accessible with instantly actionable insights!

​

We analyzed 150+ published patent applications in the BCI space published between January 2025 and June 2025, covering every major player from tech giants to breakthrough startups. This isn’t just data—it’s actionable competitive intelligence.

What You’ll Discover:

The key strategic areas where companies are focusing their research and development efforts, organized by both Technology and Application (Application summary provided below).

​

Who This is For:

​

R&D Leaders, CTOs, and Technical Co-Founders at BCI Companies

​

• Why you need this: You need to understand where your technology fits within the 2 High Activity Zones and 11 Hidden Opportunity Spaces, and see exactly how your competitors are addressing the same technical problems you're facing on a category-by-category basis.
• How to use it: Map your current R&D approach against the competitive landscape to identify if you're fighting in crowded spaces or building in overlooked areas, analyze how other companies are addressing your core technical challenges, and make strategic decisions about where to focus your engineering resources based on real competitive intelligence rather than assumptions.
• The bottom line: This is the kind of comprehensive competitive R&D intelligence that only large corporations with deep pockets and dedicated patent analysis teams had access to until now.

​

Competitive Intelligence That Changes Everything!

​

Your report also includes and executive summary PDF providing a summary strategic analysis across two critical dimensions:

• 🔥 2 High Activity Zones where intense patent filing reveals the most critical problems being solved. Master these to leap ahead of competition.
• 💎 11 Hidden Opportunity Zones (each with its own summary slide just like the one above for EMG Technology) Hidden Opportunity Zones represent second-order opportunities with massive potential—perfect for strategic positioning while others chase the obvious plays.

​

Who We Are DataFrank LLC was founded on the concept that the information available in public databases - such as the patent database, financial filings and social media - that could previously only be mined by large organizations with dedicated research teams and deep pockets could now be made accessible to start-ups and mid-sized corporations in a format that enables instantly actionable information. DataFrank LLC was founded by Chris Frank, longtime patent analyst and consultant to the MedTech industry and Adjunct Professor at the University of Minnesota Law School where he teaches the Capstone: Patent Law and Innovation course.

Good News! The Cost of Competitive Intelligence Just Dropped 10X - 20X

​

IMPORTANT: What’s in the dataset? Only Published Patent Applications, NOT Issued Patents

This dataset is only the most recent published patent applications in the BCI space. What that means is these are NOT issued patents. The reason we chose this dataset of published applications is that we know some companies have policies that seek to minimize employee access to issued US patents but allow access to published patent applications.

Executive Summary Not Enough?

Do A Deep Dive: Easily Digestible Information on a Patent-by-Patent Basis

​

Each patent is summarized in a single slide and is organized with other patents in the same category and tag group, including:

• Patent bibliographic information
• AI-generated problem statement and solution statement
• AI-generated category and tag
• Link to full patent text in Google patents
• Easy review and comparison

​
