As the first 2D crystal discovered and with unusual electronic, optical and mechanical properties, graphene is of interest across industry fields as diverse as Aerospace, Biotech, Energy, Industrial Chemicals and Semiconductors.CambridgeIP’s graphene patent landscape research shows a surge in graphene patent filings around the world from around 2007. Last year, 2012, experienced particularly high numbers of new graphene patent applications, with a relatively large proportion of global graphene patent applications being made in Asian countries.
“One of the striking features of the graphene patent landscape is the marked increase in graphene patent activity in Asia, especially South Korea and China, over the past several years” said Quentin Tannock (Chairman, CambridgeIP) commenting on CambridgeIP’s graphene patent landscape research.
About CambridgeIP Reports
CambridgeIP brings its significant experience in building patent-based technology intelligence to create IP InsightTM Reports. CambridgeIP’s approach provides a different perspective to understanding investment in R&D, geographical distribution and size of markets, market value chains, how a technology area is evolving and what are the fundamental drivers of its long-term performance.
Example report: IP InsightsTM Graphene This report will address key questions, trends and features of the graphene IP Landscape® including who owns graphene technologies, who are the most prolific graphene inventors and which are currently the most important graphene patents.
