    Antibody technologies. Patenting trendsThefollwingpagesowhsaparallelcoordinategraphicrepresentingthepatentingtrendsofthemostusedIPCclassificationsfornon-diagnosticantibodies.The descending trend in patenting is mostly due to the time required by thepatentingprocessestoeitherpublishtheapplication,usually18monthsfromfiling,oritsmultiplicationinseveralnationalpatentsaboutto31monthsaftertheoriginal
