Report Overview: Discover the Intellectual property of 3D Printing and Rapid Manufacturing in Medical Technology Summary: If you are an IP professional, a consultant, a strategy manager, a business executive, academic leader or an M&A professional this report could potentially save you a lot of effort in understanding the IP of medical 3D printing. Our report can typically be understood by senior managers, not just technical experts. IP insights and syntheses can be critical to your IP, R&D, innovation, application development, business development, M&A and broader business strategy. The report focuses on the intellectual property of 3D printing (=additive manufacturing) as well as subtractive manufacturing, therefore overall rapid manufacturing for medical applications (medical technology, medical devices and healthcare). It includes more than 250 selected patents (> 110 individual inventions) worldwide from 1 Jan 2006 to 31 Dec 2016 and shows you which inventions are protected by patents in which countries. It offers a concise overview of the IP landscape as well as an easy-to-understand patent-by-patent analysis. The patents identified and analysed were mainly in the fields of dental, orthopedics, general medical, tissue engineering, monitoring & diagnostic, data, CMF, hearing devices, spine, orthosis, cancer surgery and airway devices. Structure: Our report features a synthesis of the IP landscape and a patent-by-patent analysis. 1. IP landscape synthesis • Ideal for business executives, consultants, IP, R&D, innovation, business development,

Patent-by-patent analysis • Ideal for IP managers, consultants, researchers, application developers • For each invention/patent, read an insightful synthesis that is easy to understand, short and to-the-point, including: i. Application focus ii. Identified problems & needs iii. Overall proposed solution iv. Key elements • Do not worry about summarizing multi-page long technical patent documents yourself, just copy/paste our analysis and tweak it to your needs Executive summary: This report analyses and synthesises the intellectual property (IP) of rapid manufacturing in the medical field, which consists of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) and subtractive manufacturing. The inventions were selected using a targeted search strategy (using Espacenet), leading to more than 250 patents from 2006 to the end of 2016, filed globally. These represent over 110 different inventions (several ones are protected with multiple patents in different countries). Inventions were analysed by region and main field they addressed, the results were synthesised, and a concise analysis of each invention/patent was added. The analysis details application focus, identified problems & needs, overall proposed solution and key elements for each invention/patent. Results from the search show that the main application fields were in dental, followed by orthopedics and general medical. Other fields included tissue engineering, monitoring & diagnostic, data, CMF, hearing devices, spine, orthosis, cancer surgery and airway devices. [A structured and more detailed synthesis is provided in the report after purchase in its executive summary and IP landscape section]. Patents were filed by many different companies, universities and individuals. Most companies or universities had only one invention under protection. But in several cases a single invention was protected with multiple patents in different countries. Most patents were filed as WIPO, Chinese, European or US patents.

4. - 14. Patent by patent analysis, structured by key field Structured by key field (e.g., General Medial, Hearing devices), a patent-by-patent/invention-by-invention analysis is provided. At the beginning of each section (key field), there is a synthesis of what has been found in the field (similar to the overall application focus synthesis). Afterwards the various patents/inventions are analysed, in many cases broken down by further subcategories, to make it easier to group the patents. For example, general medical inventions are broken down into scaffolds, new and improved processes, etc.. In each subcategory the single inventions/patents are analysed one-by-one. This part is very insightful as the invention descriptions are easy to understand and to-the-point and can hence be grasped quickly. For each invention, the following information is provided i. Application focus ii. Identified problems & needs

Please note the words “patent”, ”patent application”and “invention” are sometimes used interchangeably in the report as one invention is sometimes protected by multiple patents in different countries or has different publication files linked to it (e.g., original application, correction, etc.). State-of-the-art refers to inventions for which IP (e.g., a patent) was filed or applied for, and which are therefore included in the respective database search
