What technologies can be patented in the field of medical biology?

Most of the patents applied by hospitals are mainly devices, sanitary materials, and the technology and method of drug configuration. There is still a lot of room in methods, traditional Chinese medicine, new uses of drugs and biological materials. According to the content of the requested protection, the invention patents that can be applied to the fields of chemistry, biology and medicine can be divided into three categories: products, methods and uses:

1、

Chemical products. Include compounds, compositions and chemical products described by appropriate chemical and physical parameters and/or preparation methods. For example, a Chinese medicinal composition for treating diabetes, an antioxidant peptide obtained by enzymolysis from peas, a gene with a certain function or protein.

2、

Methods for preparing chemical products, such as methods for preparing traditional Chinese medicine compositions for treating diabetes; A method for preparing antioxidant peptides from pea by enzymolysis, and a method for preparing genes or protein with certain functions.

3、

Invention of the use of chemical products. If you apply for a patent for the medical use of chemistry with the claims of "for treating diseases", "for diagnosing diseases" and "for medicine", it belongs to the provisions of Item (3) of Paragraph 1 of Article 25 of the Patent Law.

The project "Diagnosis and treatment of diseases" cannot be patented; However, since drugs and their preparation methods can be patented according to law, patents can be granted for pharmaceutical inventions with drug claims or use claims, such as "application in pharmacy" and "application in preparing drugs for treating certain diseases", such as the application of compound X in preparing drugs for treating Y diseases, the application of gene A in preparing diagnostic kits for B diseases and the application of protein C in preparing drugs for treating D diseases.

As the medical field also involves biomaterials, you can also apply for inventions with the theme of genes, vectors, recombinant vectors, transformants, polypeptides or protein, fusion cells and monoclonal antibodies, and the claims can include the products themselves, preparation methods and uses of the above themes. If the application for protection is related to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, it should be written as "application in pharmacy" and "application in preparing drugs for treating certain diseases".
