Chapter 7 in Patent Management, 2021, pp 193-239 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Successful patent management also differs depending on the technological domain. This chapter looks at technological fields that are on the rise, fields such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, industry 4.0, software, artificial intelligence, and the blockchain. Managing these technologies requires different approaches to patenting and commercialization since they cross-cutout across industries and are still in their early states. Fields such as biotechnology have raised deep ethical and moral concerns, while technologies such as the blockchain questions the industrial-era notion of patentability. In contrast to the nuts, bolts, and processes of patent management, this chapter offers to readers a bit of a wider context as well as a broader and intellectually more mature view on the patent system.
