Analisi dei brevetti nel settore delle nanotecnologie: trend e strategie di recupero dell'informazione
Full text linkPatent landscape analysis: How to find information on hydrogen peroxide industrial syntheses
Full text linkThe objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the methodology employed in patent landscape analyses (PLA), with a particular focus on the patented processes used to produce hydrogen peroxide.
Patents are an essential source of technical knowledge that may not be found anywhere else. In a paper published in World Patent Information it is posited that 57 % of technical information can be found exclusively in patents. Even if the quantity of information is difficult to quantify, the rising number of patent applications demonstrates the growing importance of patents as a source of information.
A patent landscape is a specific type of patent search conducted with the objective of identifying the most recent inventions or to study the development of a particular technology.
An example of PLA is reported, focused on the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide. The search was carried out using a combination of classification schemes (IPC – International Patent Classification and CPC – Cooperative Patent Classification) and keywords.
The global patent landscape is dominated by China, the USA and Japan. The patenting trend indicates a rise in the number of filings for electrolytic and photocatalytic methods, with a notable acceleration in the latter.
These results can be beneficial for researchers and technology transfer professionals. Researchers may utilize these findings to develop new photocatalytic methods or enhance the alkyl anthraquinone auto-oxidation (AO) process, focusing on the catalytic systems and reactors utilized for the hydrogenation step, for example

Graphene and Its Derivatives in Dental Implants: A Patent Landscape Study
Full text linkCarbon allotropes, including graphene, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), have the potential as coating nanomaterials to improve the performance of dental implants. Furthermore, graphene has demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and enhanced biocompatibility in comparison to other types of carbon nanoscale structures. Several bibliometric studies have been published on the use of graphene-based materials, but they only focus on scientific articles and not patents. Few articles report on a patent study of dental implants, but without focusing on carbon allotropes. The objective of this study is to provide a patent landscape analysis of graphene and its derivatives in relation to dental implants. The search for relevant information was conducted on Espacenet
Brevetti e proprietà industriale
No full textQuando si parla di brevetti, l'immaginario collettivo corre all'inventore geniale, ma molti guardano anche con timore alle posizioni dominanti di multinazionali industriali, al rischio di inadeguata distribuzione di un bene utile, ai problemi della contraffazione delle merci nel mondo globalizzato. Certamente oltre alle invenzioni che costituiscono l'oggetto del brevetto e agli effetti che possono derivare dal suo uso, vi è però poca conoscenza del brevetto come strumento di protezione della proprietà industriale. Solo conoscendolo si possono capire i suoi limiti e le opportunità che può generare, quando utilizzarlo e come, quali sono gli altri strumenti per difendere e diffondere la proprietà intellettuale. Questo volume non è per addetti ai lavori, né orientati ai temi giuridici ed economici che riguardano i brevetti e la proprietà industriale, ma è rivolto a tutti coloro che, avendo una formazione scientifica e tecnologica, possono essere coinvolti nei processi di valorizzazione e protezione delle invenzioni. Questi professionisti, da imprenditori o da dipendenti di piccole, medie o grandi imprese, devono imparare a riconoscere una invenzione, a proteggerla e a valorizzarla per generare innovazione e competitività e questo libro è una guida che offre un inquadramento completo e una base di conoscenza utile per poter partecipare ai processi di gestione dei brevetti con consapevolezza
A Review of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Field of Wearable Sensors and Systems
No full textWearable Biomedical Systems (WBS) integrate a complexity of components and technologies which are all crucial even though, sometimes, extremely simple: sensors, actuators, materials, data communication, power control units, user interfaces, new algorithms for signal processing, mechanical components, washability, characteristics and stability of the sensors and their placement on the body. Moreover those factors could change according to the activities or actions monitored and anthropometric characteristics of subjects. It’s worth noting that is a very high number of features but each essential for the proper functioning of the entire system (without discussing the ethical and legal aspects of measuring and process sensitive personal data). From here we can identify many strategic areas for the development of WBS. In order to correctly address the research, especially the industrial one and its potential exploitation, it is fundamental a rigorous analysis of the state of the art both scientific and especially about the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and related issues. In this context, in recent years the result of innovations supported by the international research has primarily focused on IPR issues about textile sensors and electronic systems. This chapter offers an overview of this knowledge
Developing biomedical devices: design, innovation and protection
No full textDuring the past two decades incredible progress has been achieved in the instruments and devices used in the biomedical field. This progress stems from continuous scientific research that has taken advantage of many findings and advances in technology made available by universities and industry. Innovation is the key word, and in this context legal protection and intellectual property rights (IPR) are of crucial importance. This book provides students and practitioners with the fundamentals for designing biomedical devices and explains basic design principles. Furthermore, as an aid to the de
