But the life sciences arena is changing, and companies that you might think better placed within the technology sector are making their presence felt in, and may be set to disrupt, the industry.
According to a report earlier this year by research and development insight company PatSnap, as of April 26, technology companies Philips and HP are among the top ten most intensive filers of patents covering enabling technologies in the synthetic biology field.
