The pharmaceutical industry continues to be a hotbed of patent innovation. Activity is driven by the evolution of new treatment paradigms, the gravity of unmet need, as well as the growing importance of technologies such as pharmacogenomics, digital therapeutics, and artificial intelligence. In the last three years alone, there have been over 136,000 patents filed and granted in the pharmaceutical industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Biosimilars in pharma: coagulation factor-based compositions.

According to GlobalData’s Technology Foresights, which uses over 730,000 patents to analyze innovation intensity for the pharmaceutical industry, there are 80+ innovation areas that will shape the future of the industry.
Coagulation factor-based compositions is a key innovation area in biosimilars
Coagulation factors also called clotting factors are blood proteins that help form blood clots on injuries to prevent bleeding. Coagulation factor concentrates are drugs used to manage bleeding in blood clotting disorders such as Haemophilia or Von Willebrand Disease. They can control, prevent, and decrease the frequency of bleeding episodes and prevent bleeding during surgery, by the activation of the prothrombin complex which induces clotting of blood. A biosimilar is a biological product that shares many characteristics with a reference biologic and doesn’t exhibit any clinically significant variations in terms of safety, purity, or potency.
GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies. According to GlobalData, there are 105+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established pharmaceutical companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of coagulation factor-based compositions.
Key players in coagulation factor-based compositions – a disruptive innovation in the pharmaceutical industry
‘Application diversity’ measures the number of applications identified for each patent. It broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators.
‘Geographic reach’ refers to the number of countries each patent is registered in. It reflects the breadth of geographic application intended, ranging from ‘global’ to ‘local’.
Novo Nordisk is one of the leading global healthcare companies focused on discovering, developing, and manufacturing innovative biological medicines. It focuses on advancing drugs for the treatment of diabetes and other serious chronic conditions, including haemophilia, human growth hormone (HGH) disorders, and obesity. The company has made long-term investments in novel treatments and technologies, including curative stem cell-based therapies, to continually advance the development of novel therapies. Novo Nordisk is committed to improving access to quality care for people with haemophilia and rare bleeding disorders in developing and emerging countries. It has an agreement to license 2seventy bio’s proprietary mRNA-based megaTAL™ technology for the development of a new treatment approach for haemophilia.
In terms of application diversity, CNJ Holdings is the top company, followed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences Research Partners and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
By means of geographic reach, Johnson & Johnson holds the top position. GNI Group and Moderna are in second and third positions, respectively.
