    Patent Strategies and Intellectual Property Management in Nanotechnology Based Drug Delivery
    (IJPHI Global Publisher Pvt. Ltd., 2026) Himanshu Singh, Abdul Baseer Khan, Harshit Verma, Vandana Tiwari, Sushma Cahudhary
    The development of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems has revolutionized modern drug research by providing targeted drug delivery, improving drug efficacy, controlling drug release, and minimizing systemic drug toxicity effects. A wide range of nanocarriers, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and lipid-based nanocarriers, have been developed in recent years owing to the rapid progress in nanomedicine. The protection of intellectual property (IP) has become an integral component in the protection of innovation, attracting investment, and successful commercialization of these technologies as they move from the laboratory to commercial products. Strategies to protect new formulations, manufacturing processes, surface modifications, and therapeutic uses are key factors in successful patent protection in the face of changing regulatory and legal conditions. This chapter provides a detailed account of IP management and patent strategies in nanotechnology-based drug delivery. It provides an overview of the basics of IP rights, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, with a focus on the application of patent protection to innovations in nano pharmaceuticals. The chapter discusses the conditions for patentability, the analysis of prior art, drafting patents, patent filing process, and international patent protection mechanisms. It also explores issues of patenting nanomedicines, including overlapping technologies, regulation, freedom to operate, and issues of lifecycle management. Recent case studies and new trends in AI-driven patent analytics. global patent landscapes, and commercialization strategies are also emphasized. This chapter is designed to offer practical insights to researchers, academics, industry professionals, and policymakers in the field of protecting and commercializing nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems into viable pharmaceutical products by combining scientific innovation with IP management.
