Pharmaceutical Patent Analyst is dedicated to making the essential content of key patents available in a concise and enriched format to researchers and other specialists, while also providing timely commentary on important issues related to patent and IP law.
As one of the main drivers of innovation, in both academia and industry, patents are a rich source of technical information about the latest advances in the discovery and design of novel therapeutics and healthcare products.
The journal’s core content therefore comprises high-impact patent reviews that provide an objective and concise appraisal of selected patents in a chosen area, set within the context of the wider relevant R&D landscape. Articles exploring patenting trends as well as those examining new methodologies for searching the patent literature also feature.
Complementing the core scientific review content of each issue are news updates, editorials, interviews and hot topic articles presenting enlightened opinion and commentary on pressing IP issues related to the pharmaceutical patent life-cycle or to R&D more broadly.
Audience
Pharmaceutical Patent Analyst is principally targeted at researchers and scientists who need to remain abreast of developments in the patent literature, while additionally enhancing their understanding of associated IP issues. In addition, the journal will appeal to those outside the research community, notably IP specialists, legal professionals and technology-transfer officers.
