The paper mentions the following sentence in its introduction.

BrightID is a social identity network that allows people to prove to applications that they aren’t
using multiple accounts. It solves the unique identity problem through the creation and analysis
of a social graph.

This is not the focus of Bit of Trust, since we are not concerned with proving to the outside world that we are not using multiple accounts. We are inherently allowing users to have a membership in multiple trust relationships, this is a big fundamental difference.

Of course, there may be similarities in how they do things, but it is currently not a focus to differentiate ourselves from other identification schemes.
