Company patents

Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale

INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTÉ ET DE LA RECHERCHE MÉDICALE's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in pharma_biotech, with Pharmaceutical Preparations (66.8% of portfolio) and Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) (50.3% of portfolio) showing significant growth in 2025 at +47.5% and +59.3% respectively, indicating a strong and sustained focus in these core areas. While there was a notable surge in Material & Chemical Analysis patents in 2024 with a +750.0% YoY increase, this category has since leveled off, suggesting a more targeted application rather than a broad diversification into materials science.
