Hepatitis C Virus patent assignments: patents with HCV in the patent claim
To get a quick look at who is holding patents on the Hepatitis C Virus, I did some searches of the USPTO database. In each search, I looked for the term HCV in the field for patent claims (ACLM). Note this is fairly arbitrary, and I get different (and higher) numbers if I include HCV in the Abstract. In any case:
There were 1164 patents that have the term HCV in the patent claim.
