The future of innovation lies in the convergence of highly specialized domains. This is all the more true for the biotech, pharmaceutical and medical sectors. Digitalisation, artificial intelligence, micro- and nanotechnology, smart devices, internet of things, are no longer 'nice-to-haves’ but have become truly ‘mission critical’ for these sectors. Combining the cutting-edge scientific advancements in life sciences, pharma, and chemistry with progress in IT and engineering yields incredibly sophisticated and tailored solutions to cater to individual health needs.
Cross-disciplinary developments and inventions require an integrated approach to maximize value and achieve a competitive edge. IP strategies for these developments and inventions necessitate in-depth expertise in the respective technical fields. This poses a challenge as an effective IP portfolio strategy requires a collaborative effort amongst patent experts with varying technical backgrounds.
