Patent Analysis for Precision Medicine
Precision medicine (also known as personalized or individualized medicine) is an approach to disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle to design specific and adaptive treatments and/or patient support. We examine key technologies and forces at work, notably new entrants from associated technological spheres.
Patent Trends in Tissue Engineering
IP landscape analysis provides companies with a vital overview of innovation in their chosen markets and industry sectors, from patent hotspots to industrial applications, market investments, and major players. We share insights from Questel’s analysis of the tissue engineering field.
The Importance of Clinical Trial Translation
Clinical trials are the backbone of medical research, providing the foundation upon which treatments and medications are developed and approved. However, a glaring issue persists: a lack of diversity in clinical trials. We discuss how translation, localization, and interpretation can help address this underrepresentation.
