Patent Landscape - Patents Arising from the New Zealand Food and Beverage Sector

<p dir="ltr">This patent landscape is a spotlight of patents arising from the NZ food & beverage sector since 2010. We compare it to the metrics of other OECD countries with a similar size population (5-25M people) including Israel, Singapore, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium. We drill down into total filings per year, rates of grants / transfers, overall patent values, overseas patent filing strategies to give an idea of how we stack up compared to some of our competitor / comparator countries.</p><p dir="ltr">Following that comparison, we narrow in on the key technologies and applications arising from NZ patents, and which companies in NZ are having the greatest influence on the patent landscape. </p><p dir="ltr">Finally, we profile nine patented F&B technologies that have been successfully commercialised by NZ F&B companies.</p><p dir="ltr">These analytics and insights will help put in context NZ’s contribution to F&B innovation (by patent data) compared to other OECD countries, and that despite very low R&D spend, NZ is actually very efficient at converting to patented technologies. It supports that greater funding is required to drive our R&D outputs.</p>
