I asked Perplexity:
"Is Affimer molecular technology generic or proprietary to Avacta PLC"
Affimer molecular technology is proprietary to Avacta PLC. The company describes Affimer® technology as its own novel class of biologicals, based on the human protein Stefin A, and refers to it consistently as "proprietary" in its official materials. Avacta develops, owns, and licenses this platform, and has entered into exclusive licensing agreements with partners such as Moderna and LG Chem, who access the technology under specific terms, rather than as a generic or open platform. The technology is positioned as a proprietary alternative to antibodies, with unique advantages and applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, and research.
