However, conducting research in this field whit various challenges, including limited access to necessary technological devices for TILs isolation and expansion. To address this issue, a search was conducted to identify technological devices that could be used in adoptive cell therapy, using patent exploration strategies. The search began by identifying the best-known patent databases platforms and selecting four to explore. Over 300,000 documents were initially found, but applying various filters to reduce the number of relevant documents to approximately less than 500. The information obtained was then cross-referenced and analyzed to identify the top some technologies with the highest potential for use in the isolation and expansion of TILs. Finally, the interfaces of the search platforms were compared to identify their differences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 102244"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0172219023000741/pdfft?md5=5c8a10c0a897d3d0c2263e71ca79e1c1&pid=1-s2.0-S0172219023000741-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138480418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a literature review, 27 factors were identified, which were classified according to the nature of motivation and expected results. Data from <em>curricula vitae</em> were collected to verify the researchers' academic and sociodemographic profile. A survey was conducted to measure the importance attributed to different motivational factors. The results show that, in addition to the royalties established in Brazilian legislation, universities need to provide other conditions and incentives to engage more researchers in patenting and licensing activities.

Brazilian academic food technologies grew at an order of magnitude above other sectors. Specialization is higher in the USA than in Brazil, with non-academic sectors displaying greater specialization and divergence, while academic sectors are converging. Brazil's competitive technologies focus on low-tech fields, like seafood, dairy, and preserves, primarily targeting the domestic market and leveraging biodiversity. Conversely, the USA excels in high-tech fields such as new plants, microorganisms and enzymes for food, and nutritional enhancements.

These elements are called reference system elements and are meant to be the starting point for product development projects. Based on a systematic literature review complemented by an expert workshop and analysis of established methods and tools in product engineering, we developed the Reference System Elements Identification Atlas to support the identification of suiting reference system elements. Within the Reference System Elements Identification Atlas, we collected 30 methods and tools to identify reference system elements and allocated them to the various knowledge spaces they search. All 30 methods and tools were grouped in five clusters – creativity methods, data analysis methods, market/competition analysis methods, similarity methods, and trend analysis methods.
