Patenting in the field of aquaculture has increased markedly over the last few years with at least a trebling of the number of patents registered between the early 1990s and the mid naughties.
We searched using the key words ‘aquaculture’ and ‘fish farm’ to identify relevant documents from a number of data sets including US, Japan, Germany, EU and the World Intelllectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and INPADOC. The search produced just over three and a half thousand patent documents out of a total data set of over 50 million.
This bar chart shows the scale of the uplift in patenting activity we have witnessed within this data set.
We will analyse aquaculture patenting activity in greater depth in a series of forthcoming posts, so if this is of interest please stay tuned.
