The patent landscape is important for both CPG’s and entrepreneurs to understand their freedom to operate when developing new technologies in the plant-based meat and other food spaces. Such activity is a must for the food industry scientist and entrepreneurs to see where the innovation gaps exist and where we cannot play because of current patents protections.

This presentation in collaboration with speaker Hayden Munt and the Protein Division offers the recent scanning of different meat analogues data including intellectual property, investment history, news articles, scientific publications and more, analyzing and bringing insights on the following:

• The top technology trends related to meat analogues and their valuations
• Where the innovations and intellectual patents are being applied and filed?
• Who are the top companies and countries competing in the meat substitute spaces?
• Who are the “new innovator entrants” and their differencing spaces?
• Is there potential acquisitions or partnerships?
• Is there licensing opportunities?
• Analyzing the word clouds and shed lights on the emerging innovative solutions beyond the Soybean proteins, vegetables proteins, protein isolates and more
