An evaluation of national patents and utility models during the last decade in the field of orthopedics and traumatology in Turkey
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was
to evaluate the number and status of national patents and utility models, which
had been applied for, registered or has become invalid in the field of
orthopedics and traumatology in Turkey between 2007 and 2017. In addition, we
aimed to categorize these patents and identify the areas with the most
inventions.
Method: A61B17, A61F2, and A61F5 patent categories, which
were relevant to orthopedics and traumatology and were applied for between 2007
and 2017 were investigated. In total, 341 patents and utility models which had
a registration number, were pending for approval and those who lost validity were
included in the study and categorized according to their subjects.
Results: Of the 341 patents and utility
models, 172 were registered and valid, 73 were pending for
approval, and 96 were
invalid due to unpaid fees. The leading fields in categorical classification
were spinal surgery with 121 patents and trauma surgery with 102 patents.
According to subcategorical classification, implants led the group with 207
patents, followed by auxiliary tools with 62 patents. About 1/3 of the
registered patents had lost validity.
Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the
status of the patents in the field of orthopedic and traumatology in Turkey.
Spinal and trauma-related patents were
the leading categories. One-third of the patent applications were invalid
due to unpaid fees. Our study can be used as a reference in future studies
investigating the patents and utility models.
