Key Insights

More than 11,000 intellectual property (IP) documents related to autoinjectors have been published

These IP publications represent more than 2,200 simple patent families, of which close to 25% have received approval. It is worth mentioning that majority of patent families (60%) have more than 10 years left for expiration.

Around 15 prominent keywords represent the primary focus area of the IP publications

The word inject appeared in titles of more than 80% of publications, followed by device (56%). Further, other keywords that were prominent include, auto, method and medical. In addition, the appearance of these keywords in publications has significantly increased post-2017.

More than 10 unique innovation categories represent over 2,000 simple families

Autoinjector-mediated drug delivery solutions emerged as the most prominent innovation category, followed by innovations in housing assembly (in terms of number of patent applications). It is worth highlighting that close to 50% of the sub-innovation categories have a high degree of freedom to operate.

Over 90 publications, covering recent innovations, emerged as the most valuable IP documents

More than 95% of these highly valuable intellectual property publications have been approved, with more than 15 years left until expiration. It is worth noting that 98% of these patents were filed / granted in US jurisdictions.

Around 20 CPC symbols emerged as key pockets of innovation

These represent 10 CPC families, of which A61M has emerged as the most popular, followed by A61B. Further, within the A61M CPC family, A61M5/20 emerged as the most prominent CPC symbol, being used to classify more than 11,000 patents filed across various jurisdictions.

Close to 10 white spaces are present across different innovation categories

More than 50% of the white spaces exist across audible autoinjectors and large volume autoinjectors for high viscosity drug categories. Within these categories, actuation components and mechanisms, and assembly for driving components, possess a high scope for innovation.
