MedTech used to be a comparatively easy word to understand. A medical device had a physical form. It could be inspected, described in mechanical, electrical or material terms, compared with prior art, patented, challenged, cleared for launch and monit ...

Technology transfer is often described as the movement of knowledge from research to application. In simple cases, this sounds like a clean handover. A patent is licensed. A prototype is sold. A technical document is shared. A research result is passe ...

The demand for IP services, IP competence, and strategic support in the field of MedTech and digital health systems is steadily increasing. Connected healthcare companies are no longer developing isolated medical devices. They are building integrated ...

Advanced materials are becoming a strategic layer of MedTech innovation. In high-performance medical devices and implant-related applications, value is often not created by the visible product alone. It may sit deeper in the material itself, in its co ...

MedTech has always been an IP-intensive field. But the MedTech market in 2026 no longer looks like the familiar world of mechanical devices, careful patent drafting and regulatory approval as a separate compliance track. Medical technology now sits at ...

MedTech is no longer easy to describe as a field of physical devices alone. A medical device may still have sensors, implants, catheters, imaging components, robotics, diagnostic modules or monitoring hardware. But the value increasingly sits in the i ...

Connected MedTech is changing the logic of IP strategy. In many digital health systems, the decisive value is no longer located in one visible product. It emerges across several layers: sensors, signal capture, data processing, clinical interpretation ...

A growing number of signals from the MedTech and digital health market point to a structural mismatch. Companies are no longer developing isolated medical devices. They are building connected health systems: devices linked to software, sensors, health ...

Data-driven diagnostics are changing the way MedTech companies must think about IP strategy. In many digital health applications, the decisive value is no longer located only in the physical device, the sensor unit or the user interface. It often emer ...

MedTech and digital health are no longer separate innovation fields. Medical devices, software, data processing, connected sensors, digital platforms, clinical workflows and European enforcement structures are beginning to form one strategic environme ...
