Description
INTRODUCTION
The adoption of more stringent regulation is forcing functional food manufacturers to invest greater resources in research and development in order to fully substantiate product health claims. This investment, added to the level of industry competition, ensures that companies must secure adequate patent protection. This report analyzes the strategies of eight innovative nutraceutical developers.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Compare and contrast the patent strategies being used by some of the most innovative companies in the nutraceutical industry.
- Identify weaknesses in patent strategies and possible areas of opportunity.
- Identify products and companies which offer good investment opportunities.
- Evaluate new nutraceuticals under development and identify the disease areas and health claims being pursued.
- Identify key active principles being targeted and their health benefits for certain disease types.
HIGHLIGHTS
The range of companies involved in developing nutraceuticals serves to highlight the different patenting strategies and business models being used. Some manufacturers, such as Evgen, in-license an entire IP portfolio, while companies like Provexis use a mixture of licensed-in IP and in-house development.
Avesthagen's IP business model has evolved, having originally acquired a company that was an early adopter of Ayurvedic medicine patenting. The company has since developed its own in-house screening technologies and patenting, and more recently applied cutting-edge gene transfer techniques to improve the yield of active principles in plant species.
With many modern natural nutraceuticals based upon traditional ingredients that have already been the subject of considerable research and patenting activity, licensing intellectual property will be a key strategic element for any manufacturer wishing to develop successful products.
YOUR KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What are the patent strategies of the successful innovative nutraceutical companies?
- What effect has the recent clamp down on unsubstantiated health claims had on recent patenting activity in nutraceuticals?
- How do companies use licensing to complement their intellectual property portfolios?
- Which companies are patenting natural nutraceuticals and natural pharmaceuticals in the same patent applications?
- Which countries have strong companies involved in developing new nutraceuticals and what are the factors that are encouraging this success?
