Patent Profiling for Nano Enabled Drug Delivery

Abstract

Guo Y

Nano Enabled Drug Delivery (NEDD) is widely researched and developed to improve the administration and efficacy of pharmaceutical compounds and molecules. To understand the research situation of NEDD from macro perspectives, we used the patent data to analyze from three aspects and got some interesting results: NEDD was developing steadily, but “safety problems” were becoming big challenges in recent years. NEDD was a highly interdisciplinary emerging field, whose more attractive subsystems were “vector” and “cargo”. One superpower, US, and several strong countries formed the global research pattern. Such “tech mining” offers a systematic perspective on the emerging science or technology under study that is not readily achievable within the individual knowledge of particular researchers.
