Abstract
In the regenerative medicine and tissue engineering (TE) field, it is often an overlooked and challenging aspect to fathom how TE-related basic research could be translated to applied and translational research, ultimately aiming to develop and market a product or service. The aim of the present article is to investigate the patents in the field of TE and to look up relevant patents, type of applicants, and outcomes of relevant patents over the last 10 years. Besides referencing these patents, it was also the aim to collect data on companies related to the relevant patents to investigate the current commercial status of the product or service that the patent relates to.
Impact statement
The article describes an overview of intellectual property protection and strategies in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate patenting with examples of marketed outcomes, which may be helpful for those who intend to develop a tissue-engineered product.
