“…It is also still largely uninvestigated whether different types of users have better or poorer access to the solutions in a "thicket", i.e., whether a thicket impacts the structure of an industry sector. However, the CRISPR-Cas IP landscape is meanwhile recognized as a patent thicket [79][80][81][82]. The chilling effect of the legal uncertainty cannot be denied especially for small and medium enterprises which usually lack the capability to assess and manage patent-related risks.…”

Plant related innovations are critical to enable of food security and mitigate climate change. New breeding technologies (NBTs) based on emerging genome editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas will facilitate “breeding-by-editing” and enable complex breeding targets—like climate resilience or water use efficiency—in shorter time and at lower costs. However, NBTs will also lead to an unprecedented patent complexity. This paper discusses implications and potential solutions for open innovation models.

“…While we are at the beginning of the NBT era, the patent landscape is already highly complex and, especially in the case of CRISPR/Cas, recognized as a thicket due to numerous overlapping patents. Concerns regarding inhibitory effects of overly broad patents have been expressed [79][80][81][82].…”
