In a new collaborative study, Nigel Clarke and colleagues at the European Patent Office are using data from hundreds of graphene patents to identify trends in the potential of graphene-based biomedical technologies.
Patents are publications that disclose new inventions as intellectual property, giving the innovators – be they individuals, research groups or companies – legal protection over their creations.
Patenting is important for science and innovation as it allows scientists to take appropriate action if their work is copied or stolen.
The study, which is currently ongoing, analyses data from patents filed across two emerging fields enhanced by graphene and related materials: Biomedical implants and sensors for healthcare.
By transforming this data into trends and patterns, it could be used to indicate the active geographical locations for a specific field of research, to help scientists to identify areas with u
