Features: In the late 20th century, innovation value became a belief in industry. However, what is the content of innovation value? It not only includes creating better quality and processes but also involves producing expensive products using cheap materials and employing effective marketing methods. In other words, innovation value has become a new ethics, but what it is and how to achieve it remains a "mystery." When the growth of the U.S. economy is nearly half attributed to industrial technologies emerging in the past decade, this demonstrates the power of innovation value, especially in the information technology and biotechnology industries. The development of the biotechnology industry depends on whether it provides complete protection for intellectual property rights such as patents. Therefore, studying U.S. biotechnology patent cases is of great importance.
