CONSUMER PHYSICS, PIONEER OF THE POCKET-SIZED MOLECULAR SENSOR
Consumer Physics Inc. develops and distributes molecular sensors, marketing itsproduct under the SCiO brand name. According to Consumer Physics, the SCiOspectrometer is the world's first pocket size molecular sensor. The company had over13,000 backers on Kickstarter and ended up raising over $2.7 million.
Consumers can use SCiO to scan objects including fruit, vegetables, dairy food, meat,fish and medications. They can even scan their own bodies to measure total body fat.The SCiO app also includes a DIY applet that allows anyone to scan materials of theirchoosing and analyze the difference between their molecular identities.
Consumer Physics has won numerous awards including an ‘Enabled by Optics’ awardfrom OSA, The Optical Society, in 2016, the World Economic Forum TechnologyPioneers Award 2015, the United Nations Netexplo Award 2015 and was a CESInnovation Honoree in 2016. SCiO has regularly appeared in top ‘products to watch’lists on Forbes, CNN, and Fortune, and has been covered numerous times by themedia on television, in print and online. But what technologies are behind ConsumerPhysics’ success and what are the main features claimed by its patents?
A CLEAR LINK BETWEEN PRODUCTS AND PATENTS
Combining the data obtained by System Plus Consulting’s teardown of the SCiOmolecular sensor with Knowmade’s IP analysis, this report highlights IP related to thispocket-sized spectrometer. Moreover, it analyzes Consumer Physics’ patent portfolioin order to understand the company’s IP strategy and to identify main IP competitors.
How has Consumer Physics patented its SCiO molecular sensor?

PATENT-TO-PRODUCT MAPPING
System Plus Consulting tore down the SCiOmolecular sensor. Knowmade then compared thefeatures this revealed to Consumer Physics’ IPportfolio. The selected features are mainly relatedto the spectrometer package, spectrometermodule, illumination module and temperaturesensor module. The report identifies key patentsheld by Consumer Physics related to thesetechnology features. For each product feature, wehave established links between patentedtechnologies, including legal status, and theproduct.
