ABSTRACT
Las patentes no se publican con la misma celeridad que los artículos científicos porque tiene que transcurrir como mínimo 18 meses de examen de la invención entre su solicitud y el registro público de su concesión en forma de documento de patente. Por eso, el mayor número de patentes publicadas hasta ahora abarca los anteriores coronavirus que afectan a humanos, como son el Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Severo y el Síndrome Respiratorio de Oriente Medio, de los cuales sí existen patentes de técnicas de diagnóstico, tratamientos e incluso vacunas, así como un menor número de patentes relacionadas con la actual pandemia causada por la COVID-19 por el poco tiempo transcurrido y la alta virología de la enfermedad. La presente de investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar el comportamiento de las invenciones solicitadas y concedidas sobre COVID-19 que han sido registradas en la Oficina Internacional de Patentes de los Estados Unidos. El estudio, por su naturaleza, empleó un enfoque mixto de la investigación, donde se articularon de forma sistémica métodos de corte cualitativo y cuantitativo que permitieron la complementación de los diferentes análisis métricos. Los resultados mostraron que el mayor poderío tecnológico se agrupa en titulares de Estados Unidos, seguidos por Irán, Israel, Bulgaria, Canadá y Reino Unido, y que el número de investigaciones sobre COVID -19 se centra en: técnicas para su identificación y diagnóstico; sistemas informáticos; péptidos; radioterapia; reconocimiento de datos modelos computacionales; mutación e ingeniería genética; colorimetría; procesamiento de datos eléctricos digitales; entre otros temas, que conforman la vanguardia tecnológica innovadora que existe hoy en el mundo sobre la COVID -19(AU)
Patents are not published as quickly as scientific articles because at least 18 months of examination of the invention must elapse between its application and the public record of its grant in the form of a patent document. For this reason, the largest number of patents published so far cover the previous coronaviruses that affect humans, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, of which there are patents for diagnostic techniques, treatments and even vaccines. There are fewer patents related to the current pandemic caused by COVID-19 due to the short time that has elapsed and the high virology of the disease. The objective of this research was to analyze the behavior of the requested and granted inventions on COVID-19 that have been registered in the United States International Patent Office. The study by its nature used a mixed approach to research where qualitative and quantitative cutting methods were articulated in a systemic way that allowed the complementation of the different metric analyzes. The results showed that the greatest technological power is clustered in the headlines of the United States, followed by Iran, Israel, Bulgaria, Canada and the United Kingdom, and that the number of investigations on COVID-19 are focused on techniques for its identification and diagnosis, in: computer systems; peptides; radio-therapy; data recognition; computational models; mutation and genetic engineering; colorimetry; digital electrical data processing; among other topics that make up the innovative technological vanguard that exist today in the world on COVID -19(AU)

Objective In recent years,driven by our country's policy of strengthening independent innovation capabilities,there is dramatic increasing of the Patent application volume in Guizhou Province.This article analyzes the patent application and authorization of Guizhou medical research institutes,explored its existing problems and proposed countermeasures.Methods In this paper,the author searched the patent data of Guizhou Medical Scientific Research Institutions,including medical universities and their affiliated hospitals,medical colleges,and people's hospitals at all levels,through the Baiten Patent Data Retrieval Website.Data about the number of patent applications,types of applications,technical composition,legal status,legal events were analyzed to understand the existing problems,and proposed further solutions.Results At present,the medical scientific research units in Guizhou Province still have many problems in patent applications,such as low quality,Pay attention to the application but neglect the maintenance,low patent transactions,lack of patent knowledge for scientific researchers,and low patent consulting services.Conclusions These problems can be solved by improving the intellectual property management department,strengthening information literacy education,running a new mode of school-enterprise cooperation,and adding patent service organizations.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the status of patent knowledge awareness and applications, and analyze influencing factors among scientific researchers in tertiary hospitals in Nanjing, to provide reference for enhancing the intellectual property right awareness and technological innovation of the hospitals.@*Methods@#A questionnaire survey was conducted with cluster stratified random sampling among scientific researchers at 10 tertiary hospitals in Nanjing in May 2018. The frequency and percentage of the enumeration data were evaluated by chi-square, CMH chi-square, and Fisher′s exact test, rank sum test was used for ranked data, and multi-factor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of patent application.@*Results@#In this survey, 34.16% of scientific researchers were highly familiar with patent knowledge, and 36.63% were familiar basically. The awareness rate of hospital management system was 49.75% and patent application rate was 51.98%. The influencing factors of patent application included hospital type, specialty, professional title, and the familiarity with patent-related knowledge.@*Conclusions@#Currently, the knowledge awareness of patents is insufficient among the researchers in tertiary hospitals in Nanjing, and the rate of patent application is also low. Therefore, the hospitals should take the problems more seriously by setting up a patent department, for training researchers, and strengthening the management of patents.
