Patent office approves 7 patents for South San Francisco innovators in week ending Aug. 8

Patent 7

There were seven patents granted in South San Francisco in the week ending Aug. 8, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

This is one less than the week before. Patents included an ectonucleotidase inhibitors and methods of use thereof.

The earliest patent filed which was granted in the week ending Aug. 8 belonged to Genentech, Inc. who filed in Feb. 28, 2018.

The number of approved patents in the U.S. grew steadily from roughly 225,000 in 2009 to more than 285,000 in 2019. The number of patents approved suffered a slight downturn in 2020.

Gene Quinn with IPWatchdog said the system underneath patents have become unwieldy, specifically for medical innovations.
