Nice find. Is this volume and coverage of methods even possible to have submitted as patent applications in such a short time? I guess if you are Ethicon Endo-Surgery, it is.
It's like a patent application production line. But IMO there is no reason to think this has anything to do with Titan after a quick read through the abstracts shown in the link.
I just don't see the JnJ/Google/Ethicon + Titan thing happening. What would be the reason to not make it public knowledge and kick things into high gear for such a consortium?
Anyone see anything that makes it look like these applications are for effectors that would mate with SPORT?
