New report – Diagnosing COVID-19: A perspective from U.S. patenting activity

A new USPTO report finds that small companies and universities led the way in COVID-19 diagnostic patent filings. Nearly 71% of these filings were from small entities, including 64% of filings from companies and 82% from universities, research institutes and hospitals. Financial support from the U.S. government helped spur this invention—about 10.7% of all COVID-19 diagnostic filings had government support, with the U.S. National Institutes of Health leading other agencies.
