Patent Application Trend of Medical Robot

 

How many medical robot patents have been filed?

Robot technology used in various industries is becoming more sophisticated by combining artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and augmented reality (AR). The robotics industry that provides medical services is also continuously growing. Medical robots include robots for surgery performing/assisting or simulating, robots for diagnosis/inspection, rehabilitation robots, and pharmaceutical robots. According to the Macquarie Consortium, the global medical robot market will grow from $1.7 billion in 2017 to $13.4 billion in 2025, and surgery-related robots account for more than 70% of the market.(1) If so, I wonder how many patents related to medical robots have been filed? In this issue, we will look at the flow of patent applications related to medical robots over the past 20 years.

▲ Medical robot market size (Service robot market trend, Information and Communication Technology Promotion Center, 2017)

 What is the trend of applications over the last 20 years?

Medical-related robot patents filed in the United States, China, Korea, Japan, and Europe have steadily increased since the 2000s, and have risen sharply since 2015. In particular, the number of applications filed in China increased sharply. It has overtaken the United States in terms of total application volume. Currently, about 43% of all patents are filed in China, with the US accounting for about 28%. According to the Chinese government (National Food and Drug Administration), the medical robot market in China has grown at a CAGR of 10% since 2014, surpassing USD 130 million in 2018, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% over the next five years. do. In the past, it had grown centered on rehabilitation robots based on active government policies, but it is expected that surgical robots will become the mainstay in the future. (2)

Which applicant has applied the most?

Founded in 1995, Intuitive Surgical is dominating the surgical robot market with its surgical robot ‘Da Vinci’. The number of patent applications is also high. Covidien, in second place, is a manufacturer of medical devices such as surgical suture devices. They’ve applied for a number of patents related to surgical robots. In 2015, it was acquired by Medtronic, a multinational medical device, service and solution company. Metronic grew the size by acquiring Mazor Robotics, a spinal surgical robot company in 2018.

Ethicon, which took 3rd place, and Auris Health, which took 4th place, that specialize in surgical robots are subsidiaries of global healthcare company Johnson&Johnson. In addition, Johnson & Johnson secured significant patents by acquiring the remaining stake in Verb Surgical, a surgical robot company established in a joint venture with Alphabet. The filing size of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies as a whole is not small. In fact, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic have been continuously pursuing M&A with surgical robot companies. In the competition between the strongest Intuitive Surgical,  Medtronic, and Johnson & Johnson, it would be interesting to see what changes in the future.

Also, looking at the proportion of applications by country, Chinese applicants are very concentrated in the domestic applications, while Philips (the Netherlands) and CMR Surgical (UK) have applied evenly. You may be curious about the double CMR Surgical. As a start-up related to surgical robots, they are developing a surgical robot system ‘Versius’. Since its founding in 2014, it has secured an investment approaching $1 billion and is currently attracting attention as it is valued at $3 billion.(3)

Let's check the competitive of patents!

Patents are not only about quantity, but also about quality. This time, we will check the IP competitiveness of the top applicants by using the SmartAngle of WIPS Global. We can look at the quality level along with commercial skill level. We used the results of analysis of technology impact index (CPP) and market power (PFS) in accordance with the applicant/applicant's nationality. There is a contrasting result between the 1st and 2nd places. Intuitive Surgical has a relatively strong market dominance, while Ethicon has a strong technological influence.

On the other hand, Aurisj Health's market power is not strong, but its technological influence is above average. Abbott shows a similar trend. St. Jude Medical (established in 1976), acquired by Abbott, an American medical device company in 2017, specializes in heart-related diagnosis and treatment. They developed an artificial heart valve and later launched the world's first defibrillator based on a 4-pole electrode system. They have mainly applied for a patent related to the catheter (thin surgical tube) robot system that can be used for cardiovascular treatment.

Top 5 applicants by country,

China has been actively fostering the industrial robot market by declaring ‘The Rise of Robots’ in 2016. Applications from the Chinese national research institutes, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Harbin Institute of Technology, appeared at the top of the list. Edge Medical, which took 5th place, also stands out. As a medical robot startup established in Shenzhen in 2017, it is developing a laparoscopic surgical robot capable of minimally invasive surgery and has recently received an investment of $90 million.(4)

 On the other hand, in the United States, most of the top companies in the entire ranking. As for Globus Medical, which was not mentioned earlier, founded in the United States in 2003, as a robot system company related to orthopedic surgery such as artificial joints, it is leading the spinal implant market.

Next, we will look at the top applicants from Europe, Korea and Japan.

In Korea, besides Intuitive Surgical, Mirae Company and Curexo have the most applications, followed by Hanyang University and Samsung Electronics. Established in 1984, Mirae Company started out as an industrial equipment company, but entered the surgical robot and 3D sensor market to diversify its business. They are selling Revo-i, a laparoscopic surgical robot. Meanwhile, Curexo, established in 2006, sells the nation's No. 1 artificial joint and spinal surgery robot, Cuvis. It has been confirmed that Samsung Electronics has also applied for patents related to surgical robots and rehabilitation robots.

▲ Mirae Company and Curexo's surgical robot

 In Japan, Philips and Medicaroid stand out. Philips is a global medical device manufacturer. They’ve filed a lot for robotic technology related to diagnostic equipment. Medicaroid was established in 2013 as a joint venture between Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which is famous for industrial robots, and Sysmex, a company specializing in medical diagnostics, and is developing surgical robots. Hinotori, Japan's first surgical robot, is a product of Medicaroid.

What are the key keywords?

Let's take a look at the technology keywords with WIPS Global' SmartCloud. Smart Cloud is the result of keyword clustering applied with artificial intelligence technology. Obviously, there are many keywords related to Surgical Instrument/Robot/Tool as the proportion of surgical robots is high in the medical robot field. Excluding them, End Effector has the most. An end effector is a device/tool ​​at the end of a robot arm, which can be thought of as a human hand. In addition, you can check fixedly connected, Connecting Rod, Rehabilitation Training, Tail End, etc.

 We looked at the patent trends related to medical robots that have been applied for the past 20 years. The medical service robotics industry is expected to continue to grow, but on the other hand, the competition is getting fierce. It is exciting to see how the relevant companies will move to gain a technological edge and expand their market dominance.

Japanese audio equipment manufacturer ZOOM files a lawsuit against U.S. Zoom for prohibition of trademark infringement

 On November 30, 2021, Japanese audio equipment manufacturer ZOOM filed a lawsuit against Zoom Video Communications (ZVC), an American video conference service provider, demanding a ban on trademark infringement in the Tokyo district court.

Japan's ZOOM claimed that the US corporation ZVC used the very similar mark to Japan ZOOM’s registered trademark in providing the meeting program for the use of the video conferencing service to customers.1)

Japan's Zoom has filed a lawsuit against NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation in September 2021, claiming to ban acts that infringe on their trademark rights.

Prior to this lawsuit, NEC NetSI was sued as a defendant, but besides that the company is the first Japanese agency of ZVC, it’s not confirmed that NEC NetSI itself is providing video conference services, and also the actual business is unclear, so considering the two facts, the lawsuit was filed against ZVC, a U.S. corporation.

In this lawsuit, The compensation for damages is not claimed in this lawsuit. This is not to express that there is no monetary loss to Japan ZOOM, but to confirm that their registered trademark is an intellectual property that should be legally protected. They stated that they would not respond to an agreement.

Regarding the use of similar trademarks, there is a case in 2008 between Japan's AIPHONE    (アイホン), an intercom giant, and Apple in the United States. Apple of the United States is using it with permission for the use of trademark rights of the Japanese AIPHONE.

Group the patent family for more quick review and analysis

 

A patent has a ‘principle of territoriality’ that is effective only in the country in which it is registered. Even if a patent is registered in one country by examination, there may be cases in which the patent cannot be obtained in another country because patent right is granted in accordance with each country’s examination system. In this way, when a single patent is applied for in several countries, the applications of each country for the basic original application form like a family, so they are called ‘patent family’.

In May of last year, in the webzine #2, we looked at the family analysis feature of WIPS Global. Today we are going to look at the grouping feature which is useful to review patent family.

 Family grouping of WIPS Global is that groups search results by family unit or groups them into one group if there is the same family in the search results. It is possible to quickly review and analyze patents of the same inventor family even in different countries. Now, 100,000 documents can be grouped at once, and duplicated documents can be removed after grouping.

▲ wipsglobal.com> search result

In details (in the picture)

1. You can make it group the same family within the search results,

2. ‘To Extend’ is the grouping after expanding family which includes all families that are not found in the search results but possessed in the searched documents. Extended family documents may bring more results than the original searched documents.

3. This is to set the representative documents to be checked within the family group. You can sort by application date or set the order of countries that require priority review when multiple countries are included in the family documents.

                        ▲ wipsglobal.com> search result > 'To Extend' the patent family

Within one family group, there is one representative family document and sub-documents.

After grouping, you can check it by pressing the ‘+’ button if you want to view the sub-document. As shown in the picture, numbers are sequentially numbered as 4.1, 4.2, 4.3… under the document no.4, so it is easy to distinguish it from the previously read documents.

                                                    ▲ wipsglobal.com> search result

When you want to save the selected family document or analyze with the SmartAngle, you can choose only the representative document or all documents.

                                      ▲ wipsglobal.com> search result > download center

Now we can download the patent family documents. Family documents have the same ‘Family ID’,  so we can check it in the ‘Family ID’ column of the downloaded Excel file. It’s very useful to review the details. However, we should know in advance that the family ID may change depending on the time of download, as family relationships may change over time.

U.S. Marvel Company going to fight with the original author of Marvel characters in Court.

• On September 24, 2021, the New York Times reported that Walt Disney and Marvel of the United States entered the stage of litigation against the heirs of the character author's estate for character rights in the Avengers series.

The issued characters in the dispute include Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, and Ant-Man. This was triggered in August 2021, when Spider-Man's author Steve Ditko's estate manager notified him of the transfer of Spider-Man's rights under copyright law. According to the US copyright law, the author or heir can recover the rights from the publisher after a certain period of time, and as for the above notification, Spider-Man's rights are scheduled to pass from Marvel to Ditko in June 2023. The heirs of other characters notified that Marvel's copyright on the characters would be lost one after another from the first half of 2023, and argued that Marvel should pay a fair price to the creators in order to maintain the character's copyright based on the Copyright Act.

                                                                                       ▲ marvel.com 

In order to invalidate the notice of copyright termination by the heirs, Marvel is demanding a ruling against heirs such as Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Gene Colan to declare that these characters are not subject to copyright transfer because they are commercial works (Work Made for Hire). Specifically, they claim that these works were created through employment, and therefore the copyright cancellation notice from the heirs is invalid and has no legal effect because the user, Marvel, owns the copyright. On the other hand, the heir's side revealed that all the issued characters were not work-related works, and the creators were all freelancers or independent contractors, and they worked in their own residences and sometimes received a small amount of transportation costs, they are not regular employees.

Walt Disney has been at the center of a number of intellectual property disputes involving characters, including that investing 18 years in a copyright infringement lawsuit related Winnie the Pooh and supporting legislation to extend Mickey Mouse's protection period. In 2014, Marvel settled a lawsuit similar to this one in a tens of millions of dollars settlement with cartoonist Jack Kirby, who sought to reclaim rights to characters like Captain America and Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Marc Toberoff, an attorney who has built a reputation for representing creators who make claims for old television shows, movies and comics in Hollywood, said the lawsuit would correct the legal injustices for the creators.

UK Court of Appeal rejects DABUS' inventorship

• On September 21, 2021, the UK Court of Appeal ruled that the artificial intelligence 'DABUS' cannot be an inventor.

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) has rejected for two patent applications which described Dr. Stephen Thaler's artificial intelligence creation machine 'DABUS' as the inventor on the grounds that it did not meet the requirements of Article 13(2) of the UK Patents Act 1977. Dr. Thaler filed a lawsuit against the rejection in the High Court of England, but the court stated that “only a person could make an application for a patent” and the invention of DABUS was not admitted and Dr. Thaler appealed to the Court of Appeal.

                                                             ▲ artificialinventor.com

The British Court of Appeal cited a lower court ruling that DABUS could not be an inventor, but three judges have different kind of opinions as follows;

(1) majority opinion

• (Arnold) Dr. Thaler did not comply with the '(a) inventor identification and (b) derivation of rights' requirements under section 13(2) of the UK Patent Act, and it is reasonable to consider that the application has been withdrawn accordingly. 

• (Elisabeth Laing) I agree with Judge Arnold. Dr. Thaler did not comply with patent law if he actively asserted that the inventor was not a person.

 (2) Minority opinion

• (Birss) Under British law, an inventor is the person who actually invented the invention, and Dr. Thaler is the owner and operator of the creative machine he has created, owned and managed, and is therefore entitled to apply for and obtain patents and rights, so he may be entitled to patents under section 13 of the Act. (2) meets the requirements of Article (2);

Dr. Stephen Thaler said he plans to appeal to the British Supreme Court.

Samsung Electronics wins a patent lawsuit against NuCurrent

 

Recently, Samsung Electronics won a patent lawsuit related to wireless charging technology against NuCurrent, showing the importance of its patent invalidation strategy.

                                                                  ▲ clipartkorea.co.kr

Why was Samsung Electronics attacked by NuCurrent?

NuCurrent was founded in 2009 by students from Northwestern University and is considered an early pioneer in wireless charging technology. Samsung Electronics had discussed technology alliances with NuCurrent since 2015. However, in 2018, NuCurrent filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung Electronics related to wireless charging technology applied to Galaxy S7 and S8. In response, Samsung Electronics argued that the patents were unpatentable that NuCurrent claimed infringement. In the end, PTAB accepted Samsung Electronics' objection and recognized the patent invalidity.

 A Korean Prior-Art that saved Samsung Electronics,

NuCurrent's patent, US9941729 B2 could be invalidated by citing the patent, KR 10-2013-0045307A of KthePower, a Korean small company. The KthePower’s patent filed in 2013 specifies a configuration of a coil structure related to wireless charging, so it was judged that NuCurrent's patent filed in 2015 was unpatentable. KthePower, a small company in Korea, was founded by former Vice Chairman Lee Ki-tae, who caused Samsung Electronics' "Anycall Myth". During PTAB trial, Samsung Electronics found out the KthePower’s patent and acquired the patent right, and the current right holder is Samsung Electronics.

The Strategy to Invalidate Patents,

About 29% of U.S. patent lawsuits are conducting PTAB Trials, of which 25% of Petitioner won (2012-2019 Lex Machina). In particular, the field of electronic communication technology, which is rapidly developing, has had the most filings recent years.
In PTAB Trials for IT technologies, more and more East Asian prior-art with high-technology are cited. Especially, Korea ranks first and second in the world in the ICT development index, and has many high-tech and high-quality patents.

AI applied for patent

 

Last April, a patent that shook the world was published. The patent is a food container using fractal, and it looks nothing special just by looking at the name. However, this patent was the first patent developed by AI, which drew worldwide attention. Professor Stephen Thaler, who applied for the patent, claimed that the AI ​​he had developed, DABUS, had invented an invention he didn’t even know about.

▲ artificialinventor.com 

<website of the Dabus artificial intelligence development company>

 

 Opposition of major national patent offices,

It was the first patent developed by AI, which attracted worldwide attention, but was not recognized as a patent. In most countries, such as Korea, the United States, and Europe, AI cannot be regarded as an inventor. According to the patent law, only natural persons can be inventors, and an AI that is not included in this category cannot be regarded as an inventor. WIPO also issued an opinion to grant intellectual property rights to AI, but many countries and global companies expressed the opposite opinion.

patent family of the Dabus' patent

 

 AI patents recognized in Australia and South Africa,

On July 28th, the South African Patent Office recognized Dabus's patent for the first time in the world. It appears to be registered because South Africa does not examine the inventor’s substance when examining a patent, but examines only the formal requirements. Then, on 7/30, Australia ruled that it was wrong to reject Dabus's patent. This is because there is no provision in Australian patent law that AI cannot be an inventor, nor does a non-human inventor cannot register. The Australian Patent and Trademark Office is considering whether to appeal the court's decision.

 

Can AI-applied patents be recognized?

With the decision of an Australian court, AI patent applications are drawing attention again in Korea. The Korean Intellectual Property Office has launched the ‘AI Invention Expert Consultation Group’ to solve problems that may arise with respect to patents applied by AI. The consultative body is composed of legal experts such as professors, judges, and lawyers related to AI invention, and will mainly discuss legal issues. As AI advances at a rapid pace, its importance is also increasing. We’ll have to wait and see whether AI will be able to own patents.
