Temporal Trends in the United States Patent Landscape: Innovation in Cardiology Across Industry and Academia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Novel approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics in medical care reflect the scientific community's evolving understanding of disease states and their clinical implications. Marketable and valuable innovations are generally patented for protection of intellectual property. Here, we explore the landscape of cardiology-related patents in the United States.

Methods

All United States patents granted between 2005 and 2020 were included in this study. Keywords filtering was used to identify patents related to cardiovascular medicine. Statistical inference was conducted with the Mann-Kendall trend and analysis of variance tests. The results in this report are entirely reproducible with Python and R scripts available in a publicly accessible repository.
