Bio-Based Feedstock Supply Patent Snapshot 2026
The global patent corpus for bio-based feedstock supply is currently very small — 5 patent families in scope — concentrated entirely in India and dominated by individual academic inventors and technical institutions. Activity emerged only in 2024, signalling an early-stage field where no incumbent holds a commanding position.
An atomised, early-stage field with no dominant corporate applicant
The ranking of the top 100 largest filers shows each of the top twenty applicants holding exactly 1 patent record apiece, with Dr Harikumar Pallathadka and Lovely Professional University leading on that basis. The top five filers account for 25% of the combined total of the ranked applicants visible in this query, a figure that reflects even dispersion rather than true concentration.
There is no meaningful tier gap between applicants: every ranked entity stands at the same filing depth. This flat structure is characteristic of fields where academic and individual inventors are exploring early concepts before commercial players have entered.

The absence of large corporate assignees implies that no incumbent has yet moved to lock down foundational claims in bio-based feedstock supply, leaving the technology space relatively open to new entrants from industry.
The most recent filings (2025–2026) remain subject to standard publication lag and likely under-represent actual recent activity; the apparent corpus should be considered a floor rather than a ceiling. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
Activity began in 2024; polymer compositions dominate the technology mix
Two charts illuminate how filing activity has evolved over time and which IPC branches have attracted the most attention. Both reflect a corpus that is nascent but technically coherent around bio-polymer materials.
Annual filing trend
No filings were recorded between 2017 and 2023. Activity began in 2024 with 2 patent records, continued at the same level in 2025, and produced 1 record in 2026. Given standard publication lag, 2025–2026 counts should be treated as provisional minimums.

C08L (polymer compositions) is the most represented branch with 5 records, followed by B65D (containers and packaging) at 4 and B32B (layered products and laminates) at 3. This cluster indicates that applicants are primarily focused on bio-derived polymer materials and their conversion into packaging structures, rather than upstream feedstock production or processing.

Biodegradable polymers with tunable properties for…
The presented invention introduces a solution to the environmental challenges posed by non-biodegradable packaging materials. By developing biodegradable polymers with tunable properties, derived from renewable resources such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), the innovation aims to offer a versatile and sustainable alternative.

Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
Lovely Professional University
Lovely Professional University holds 1 patent record with technology focus spanning food preservation (A23B 7), plastics moulding materials (B29K 67), and layered products (B32B 27) — the broadest multi-branch footprint among the top-ranked applicants. Momentum trend: new entrant, consistent with the field’s 2024 emergence.
patent records: 1GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management
GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management holds 1 patent record with a distinctive focus that extends into water and wastewater treatment (C02F 1) alongside packaging (B65D 1, B65D 65), differentiating it from the polymer-packaging cluster visible among peers. Momentum trend: new entrant.
patent records: 1Frequently asked questions
The corpus stands at 5 patent families in scope. This is a very small dataset, and all filings originate from India, meaning the landscape as captured here does not yet reflect significant global corporate activity.
By patent records, Dr Harikumar Pallathadka and Lovely Professional University share the top position, each holding 1 patent record. Every applicant in the top twenty holds exactly 1 record, so leadership is nominal rather than visible.
No filings were recorded between 2017 and 2023. Activity first appeared in 2024 with 2 patent records, followed by 2 more in 2025 and 1 in 2026. The 2025–2026 figures are subject to publication lag and likely undercount actual recent filings.
C08L (polymer compositions) leads with 5 records, followed by B65D (containers and packaging) at 4 records and B32B (layered products and laminates) at 3 records. The corpus is concentrated around bio-derived polymers and their conversion into packaging structures.
No large corporate assignees appear in the current corpus. All applicants are individual inventors, academic researchers, or technical educational institutions based in India. This leaves the field open to corporate entry.
All 5 patent records are filed exclusively at the Indian patent office. No PCT, US, EP, CN, or other international filings are present in this corpus, meaning protective coverage outside India is currently uncontested by any existing applicant in this dataset.

Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
