China is quickly moving up the value chain and more IPR focus

patents in China.” German Automotive Manufacturer

Other BRIC countries still a long way to go but will be faster!

The world is a changing place and we need to step up our game in Innovation to keep up.

Increased focus on patents in all markets

R&D into food and agriculture

* USDA - Research investments and market structure…, Report 130, Dec 2011

R&D on agricultural chemicals has shifted toward development expenses and

away from new discovery research. Hence fewer new products (USPTO).

Crop protection chemical patents

Crop protection chemicals show a picture of mature , consolidating industry, but

has also undergone transformation through the introduction of GM varieties (esp.

US) – IPC A01N.

Process For

Concentrated

Biomass

Saccharification

Processes for saccharification of pretreated biomass to obtain high

concentrations of fermentable sugars are provided. Specifically, a process was

developed that uses a fed batch approach with particle size reduction to provide

a high dry weight of biomass content enzymatic saccharification reaction, which

produces a high sugars concentration hydrolysate, using a low cost reactor

system.

Process for producing high-sugar content

hydrolysate from biomass where as on

further fermentation of the hydrolysate

alcohols namely methanol, ethanol,

propanol, isopropanol, butanoletc are

produced.

Methods and

compositions for

producing

solvents

Described herein are methods, compositions and synthetic biology approaches

for solvent production, including but not limited to butanol production.

Described herein are recombinant bacteria and yeast strains which may be used

in production of a solvent, including but not limited to butanol, from

lignocellulosic and other plant-based feedstocks. Described herein are methods

of producing solvents, including but not limited to butanol, using bacteria and

yeast strains. Described herein are methods of producing organisms that display

highly efficient butanol production.

New first recombinant solventogenic

organism having altered gene expression

involved in solvent production pathway

relative to expression in first organism strain

prior to its transformation, useful for

producing a solvent, e.g. butanol

Idea Management – So you’ve become highly specialized…so

where do you start?

– Ask your people for new ideas,

– Hire in consultants, or

– Look to other organizations.

But where do these ideas go? – Innovation starts with diversity, but its
