Patent and non-patent-based intelligence has become crucial to understand the innovation and ownership landscape of strategic technology areas. EPO's Observatory on Patents and Technology has developed unique methodologies to support innovators and policymakers at different levels offering the most advanced, free-of-charge patent intelligence resources. These combine the expertise of its 4000 expert examiners, its 500 million patent and non-patent records and the world's most advanced search and analytical tools.
This session will zoom-in the work carried out in selected biotech technology areas, such as Nucleic Acids, focusing on key sectorial findings and the particular situation in the Europe. It will also present the free-of-charge resources that EPO's Observatory currently provides with an outlook on their future development.
