Chapter 6 in Patent Management, 2026, pp 157-203 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Successful patent management differs from industry to industry. This chapter provides examples from the pharmaceutical, chemical, crop science, life science, and consumer goods industries, as well as from electrical engineering and telecommunications, automotive and mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, computer science, financial services and fintech, and the transport and logistics industries. It delves into the peculiarities of each of these sectors and looks at what conventions are used around patenting. While doing so, case studies illustrate the industry-specific characteristics of patent management in each domain, also touching specifics with regard to start-ups and SMEs.
