Company patents
Becton Dickinson France
Becton Dickinson France's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core focus, with Drug Delivery Devices, representing 86.8% of its portfolio, experiencing a significant decline of 21.4% in 2025 and a further 30.3% so far in 2026. This indicates a potential re-evaluation of priorities, especially given the rapid growth in Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, which saw a 33.3% increase in patent filings in 2026, suggesting an emerging focus in this area despite its smaller portfolio share.

Mechanical or electromechanical systems designed for precise, often self-administered, delivery of medicaments, including features for dose setting, needle insertion/retraction, and safety mechanisms to prevent premature activation.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Devices and adapters that enable the sterile and secure transfer of liquids, such as medications or diluents, between containers (vials, syringes, IV bags) while minimizing exposure to contaminants or air.
Devices or systems designed to precisely measure and deliver specific doses of medication, often incorporating automated mechanisms, dose-limiting features, or hands-free operation.
Systems and methods for uniquely identifying, tracking, and managing physical items using scannable codes (barcodes, QR codes) or wireless tags (RFID, IoT devices) to link physical objects to digital information, inventory, or services.
Methods and apparatuses for creating unique package structures, such as recesses in specific materials, blister packages, or single-dose units, and for controlled dispensing of products from storage into these containers.
Technologies and methods for securely closing, sealing, and maintaining the integrity of packages, including heat sealing, vacuum sealing, strapping, and specialized closure units, often involving material interaction and atmosphere control.
Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
Delivery systems specifically engineered to administer advanced drug formulations (e.g., microparticles, biologics, extended-release systems) to achieve precise targeting, controlled release kinetics, or enhanced therapeutic efficacy within the body.
Systems and components designed for precise, automated manipulation, transfer, and dispensing of liquid samples and reagents, often involving pipettes, robotic arms, and specialized sample containers.
Devices that assist in the physical modification or mixing of medications prior to administration, such as crushing solid drugs, cutting pills, reconstituting lyophilized products, or extracting from other devices.
