Example: Patent Landscape on Local Anesthesia 

Summary of the Study: Local Anesthesia 💉🧪📘

Local anesthetics are essential drugs used during surgical and post-operative procedures to block pain in targeted regions. With the global rise in surgical procedures, the demand for safe, effective, and fast-acting local anesthetics continues to grow. 🏥⚗️💊

To support innovation in this domain, Mark IP has developed a detailed Patent Landscape Report (PLR) on Local Anesthesia, covering 125+ years of global patent data (1897–Present). 📄📊📅

The first patent in this field, US628489A, was filed in 1897, claiming a non-volatile substance capable of producing local anesthesia. Between 1897 and 1960, fewer than 5 patents per year were published. This number increased to ~50 per year between 1960 and 1990, reflecting gradual innovation in the field. 📜📈

A recent search of global patent literature identified approximately 9,000 patent families containing keywords such as anesthesia, analgesia, anesthetic, local, and regional within titles, abstracts, and claims. 🔍📘

Mark IP’s analysts manually screened these families and classified around 8,000 relevant patent families into structured first- and second-level taxonomy. The report also includes:

1. All claimed uses of local anesthetics (e.g., regional targets of action)

2. Types of compounds, including derivatives, metabolites, and salts used in formulations 🧪📂

With the global anesthesia market projected to reach $4.9 billion by 2022, this PLR offers valuable insights for pharmaceutical companies developing next-generation local anesthetic drugs. 💼🚀💉
