Latest Patent News in Women’s Health (MedCity News)

Partners Annaka Nava and Lana Shiferman write for MedCity News that the women’s health market offers enormous potential for investment and innovation. While challenges related to systemic inequalities remain, progress in venture capital funding is encouraging. Likewise, the overall increase in patent filings related to breast cancer, endometriosis, and other conditions appears to reflect a growing interest in women’s health. May is National Women’s Health Month, a time to raise awareness of women’s health issues and encourage women to prioritize their well-being. “Women’s health” generally covers medical conditions unique to women and those that impact women disproportionately. For instance, when compared to men, women are more prone to certain conditions like depression, osteoporosis, and some autoimmune disorders. Despite women accounting for nearly half of the global population and outnumbering men in the United States, women’s health issues are often underserved.
