Company patents

Foundation Medicine, Inc.

Foundation Medicine, Inc. demonstrates a strong and growing commitment to data-driven healthcare, with Healthcare Informatics emerging as a key focus, showing a remarkable 285.7% year-over-year growth in 2025, now representing 44.1% of its portfolio. While its core Genetic & Microbiological Assays (67.1% of portfolio) saw a significant surge in 2025 with 143.8% YoY growth, the notable decline in patenting activity so far in 2026 across several categories like Peptides & Proteins (-78.6% YoY) and Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) (-83.3% YoY) suggests a strategic shift away from direct therapeutic development towards diagnostic and data analysis tools.
