An Analysis on the Competition of Patents in Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology, which integrates such disciplines as biology, engineering, chemistry and information technology, is an emerging field and considered as a disruptive technology in the field of biotechnology. It enables the modification or even creation of biological organisms, and has great potentials to be widely applied in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, material science, and energy. Related development strategies, funding projects and policies of synthetic biology in major countries and regions were analyzed; the development trends of patented technology, reveals the distribution of research hotspots, and conducts a comparative analysis on the numbers and influences of patents in major countries and institutions were summarized. The results can provide references and implications for scientific researchers and decision makers in the field of synthetic biology in China.
