Patent landscape analysis: This report addresses patenting trends concerning carbon capture technology.

This report has been prepared in collaboration with Gassnova, a state enterprise under the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Gassnova promotes technology development and builds competence for cost-effective solutions for the capture, transport and storage of CO₂ (CCS).

The report is divided into eight technology areas which are considered the most important areas of research within carbon capture.

The data has been analysed on a global level, but we also take a closer look at how Norwegian actors assert themselves within the field of carbon capture technology.

Patent landscape analysis: This report concerning the healthcare industry takes a closer look at the extent to which the four industry segments pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical equipment and digital health, use patenting to protect their rights.

This patent landscape analysis of the Norwegian healthcare industry is a commission from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office's owner, the Ministry of Trade and Industry. It has been prepared by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office with input from Menon Economics, the Directorate for e-Health and Stig Urheim, chief physician and researcher at Haukeland University Hospital.

The Norwegian health industry has in recent years grown considerably measured in turnover, value creation and number of jobs. It is considered one of the business sectors in Norway that will contribute to increasing the country's exports from mainland Norway up until 2030 and after. A lesser known fact is that the health industry's industrial rights have been important as a basis for this growth.

Report in Norwegian:

Patent landscape analysis: This report addresses patent trends in a selection of green technology areas.

The areas were mainly selected on the basis of political guidelines and priorities around green technology in the last 10-20 years.

The analysis is based on patent applications related to the topics of CO₂ capture and restrictive measures, renewable energy and transport.

In the report, we review and analyse the data at a global level, as well as how Norwegian and Nordic innovation fit into this context.

Report in Norwegian:

A patent landscape analysis: The aim of this report is to provide an analysis of the existing patent data within marine aquaculture and fish farming.

This report is based on a collaboration between the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and the Research Council of Norway as a measure to bring knowledge of IPR into public funded research projects.

A patent dataset with four subsets adapted for key research areas within offshore fish farming, is gathered and used for further analysis.

A patent landscape analysis: The aim of this report is to provide an analysis of the existing patent data within the subsea production and processing technology.

This report is based on a collaboration between the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) and The Research Council of Norway to bring knowledge of IPR into public funded research projects, in this case SUBPRO. The report aims to uncover opportunities and challenges in IPR by mapping the patent landscape in the technical area.

A patent data set consisting of nine subareas adapted for the key research areas within subsea production and processing technology was gathered and used for further analysis.

A patent landscape analysis: The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the patent data within the technology of joining. The report also comprises an analysis of the patent activity within this technological field, and a more detailed analysis of the five different metal joining methods.

This report is based on a collaboration between the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and the Research Council of Norway as a measure to bring knowledge of IPR (Industrial Property Rights) into public funded research projects. The report aims to uncover opportunities and challenges in IPR by mapping the patent landscape in the technical area.

Two patent data sets were gathered and used for further analysis, one larger set for an overview of the technical area, and one dataset consisting of five subareas chosen in collaboration with SFI Manufacturing as key research areas within welding technology.
