Stage: The Innovating NHS Systems Congress

In this talk, John Greathead will outline practical steps companies in this sector can take to secure their own IP and deal with that of third parties.

Digital surgery and the race for IP: Securing innovation in the operating theatre of 2030
Tuesday 9 December 2024 | 12:45 – 13:00
Stage: The Operating Theatre in the Year 2030

As the operating theatre becomes increasingly digital, innovation is shifting from instruments to algorithms, interfaces, and intelligent robotics. Jack Severs will explore how patent protection is shaping the next generation of surgical technologies.

Drawing on recent data and patent filing trends, Jack will highlight who the key innovators are, what kinds of technologies are being protected, and why securing strong IP rights is critical for investment and growth. The session will also touch on some of the unique challenges in protecting digital surgical innovations — from software-based inventions to exclusions for medical methods — and offer practical insights on navigating these issues effectively.
