Marine resources reflected in patents The Blue Biotechnology patents originated from different organisms as shown in Figure 0.10. Figure 0.10 Patent search results using the word “marine” in combination with keywords referring to organism/groups 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 0 Phyla from all domains of live were the source for patents, however, with a strong focus on microbes and molluscs. The further analysis showing the used organisms/phyla by the various subsectors actually reveals that the spectrum of used organisms is quite similar across all subsectors. 104 Study in support of Impact Assessment work on Blue Biotechnology algae annelids antifouling organisms bacteria bryozoa cnidaria crustaceae echinoderms chordata fungi microorganisms mollusks nemertinea protozoa seaweed sponges tunicates viruses
