Summary¹
The most cited patents of 2023 in the pharmaceutical field reflect research efforts in immunotherapy and drug delivery, the emergence of RNA therapeutics, and the continued evolution of antibody engineering.

Immunotherapy Dominates: A significant portion of the top cited patents focuses on immunotherapy, highlighting its transformative impact on cancer treatment.

  • US Patent No. 10934356 ("Checkpoint blockade and microsatellite instability") by Diaz et al. underscores the importance of immunotherapy combinations and the identification of predictive biomarkers for treatment response.

  • US Patent No. 8008449 ("Human monoclonal antibodies to programmed death 1 (PD-1) and methods for treating cancer using anti-PD-1 antibodies alone or in combination with other immunotherapeutics") by Korman et al. highlights the impact of checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 antibodies, in revolutionizing cancer treatment.
RNA Therapeutics on the Rise: The emergence of RNA therapeutics is evident in several of the top cited patents.
  • US Patent No. 10487332 ("Immunisation of large mammals with low doses of RNA") by Geall and US Patent No. 10532067 ("Delivery of RNA to trigger multiple immune pathways") by Geall et al. demonstrate the growing potential of RNA-based vaccines and therapeutic interventions.

1. The Summary was generated by Gemini (https://gemini.google.com/) after a brief chat about patent citations using a prompt generally as follows: 'Assume you are a person of ordinary skill in the art in the field of: [WIPO field]. Write a short article. Topic: an industry cheerleading informative overview of the most cited patents by patents issued in 2023 in that field. Use the list of patents below, which list includes the US patent number, title, and inventors of the most cited patents by patents issued in 2023 in that field. Include inventor names, patent numbers and patent titles to support the positions and statements made in the memo. Assume these most cited patents teach and disclose foundational knowledge and thus indicate areas receiving the most attention in this field in 2023. Include hashtag terms that are pertinent and will target decision makers in the market to buy attorney IP services.' followed by the list of patents relating to that WIPO field. (The list of patents had been previously generated through other means.) Gemini's output was edited, removing redundant content and topics outside the scope.
