Plant Biotechnology Patent Watch (Q2 2015)
During the second quarter of 2015, a total of 37 patent applications from 18 different assignees were published covering genetically modified plants and methods of producing them. The plant biotechnology patents were mainly sourced from the US Patent and Trademark Office. The top seven crop protection and biotechnology companies filed 27 applications, accounting for 73% of the published patents. Monsanto led the field with 16 applications, followed by BASF with 5 filings, Bayer CropScience (3), Pioneer (1), DuPont (1) and Dow AgroSciences (1). A number of publications from universities emphasised on molecular tool build-up and genome-wide research.
Plant Biotechnology Patent Watch (Q1 2015)
During the first quarter of 2015, a total of 45 patent applications from 20 different assignees were published covering genetically modified plants and methods of producing them. The plant biotechnology patents were mainly sourced from the US Patent and Trademark Office. The top seven crop protection and biotechnology companies filed 18 applications, accounting for 40% of the published patents. BASF led the field with six applications, followed by Syngenta with four filings, DuPont and DuPont Pioneer (four), Monsanto (two),, Dow AgroSciences (one) and Bayer CropScience (one). Publications from universities were mainly from the US and Asia, emphasising on molecular tool build-up, and genome-wide research.
More Info
Patent applications are included where they cover: an isolated polynucleotide sequence from a plant; the insertion of a polynucleotide molecule into or the rearrangement of genetic material within a plant or plant part; methods of producing a plant or plant part using somatic cell fusion; new genetically modified plants; theproduction of heterologous proteins, oils or other substances using recombinant DNA technology.
Each entry includes application number, assignee name, filing and publication dates, subject of the application, and a synopsis of the claims made in the application document.
Not all patent applications disclose an assignee. Therefore company or institution names within [ ] are the putative assignees, based on our best assessment of available data.
