The past week in the biodegradable packaging sector saw a large spike in patent activity. Generally, there are two or three patent documents published or issued every week for the biodegradable packaging sector. However, this week there were 8 documents published or issued! This is a strong indicator that the biodegradable packaging industry is still going strong during the pandemic and that competitors are positioning themselves for the future.
Check out some of the action from this busy week:
Frosta Aktiengellschaft, a German company, had a patent application (US Patent Publication No. 20200290321) published for a compostable and environmentally friendly packaging for a frozen product. Frosta typically sells in Europe so could this patent filing be a sign of a global expansion?
TIPA had two patent applications (US Patent Publication Nos. 20200290327 and 20200290328) published for a biodegradable sheet.
