Abstract

Biofertilizer is a fertilizer that has living microorganisms, among them bacteria and fungi, that contribute to soil fertility. The objective of this paper is to analyze historical patent data to determine the main world institutions that invest in research and technological development related to biofertilizers. The Methodology develops the treatment and analysis of the results of patents related to biofertilizers through Vantage Point, text mining software that uses a dictionary of related words to group authors, institutions and terms. Japan, Europe (EPO), the United States, Korea, India and Brazil are among the patent offices with prominence in the field of patent publications. Among the data collected, the following Japanese institutions stand out in the results: Hitachi Ltd; Sanyo Electric Co Ltd; Mitsubishi Electric Corp. Of the total number of patent holders, 95.53% account for Private Companies and 3.17% for Research Institutes.

Douglas Alves Santos, National Institute of Industrial Property – INPI, Salvador, BA, Brazil

Having graduated in 1994 from the Industrial Chemistry course at the former Federal Technical School of Pernambuco (today: IFPE), the researcher was a state civil servant at the Technological Institute of Pernambuco (ITEP) during the period 1998-2000, where he worked as an industrial chemist. at a technical level in several laboratories, such as: (a) toxicological analysis; (b) analysis of ceramics; and, (c) water and effluent analysis. He joined the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in 1995, in the Chemical Engineering course, performing scientific initiation at UFPE in the production of xanthines (bronchodilator precursors) from 1996 to 1997 in the laboratories of the Department of Fundamental Chemistry. In 1999, he graduated as a chemical engineer at UFPE and, in 2002, he obtained a master's degree in Chemical Processing Engineering for Oil and Natural Gas from the same UFPE, as a former student with a scholarship in the Human Resources Program of the National Petroleum Agency (Agência Nacional do Petróleo). PRH-ANP). From 2002 to 2003 he was a CNPq researcher at the Technological and Industrial Development (DTI) level. From 2004 to 2006, he was a substitute professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at UFPE. In 2006, the researcher was approved in a Federal Public Tender at the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), where he currently works as a Researcher in Industrial Property and Guest Professor of the Doctorate of the Academy of Intellectual Property, Innovation and Development of the INPI. Since 2006, at INPI's headquarters, the researcher is divided between the work of examiner of patents and disseminator of patent culture in Brazilian ICTs. Also at INPI, for 05 years - from 2011 to 2016 - he developed the managerial role in the management of INPI-BR's Green Patent Pilot Program. In 2009, he started a doctorate in the Graduate Program in Chemical and Biochemical Process Technologies at the School of Chemistry (EQ) of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), which he completed in 2014. In the same period (2009-2014) ), worked as an occasional collaborator in the disciplines of Professor Emerita Dr. Adelaide Antunes, as well as Professor Dr. Susana Borschiver. In its portfolio of expertise, experiences in the area of ​​academic research and scientific dissemination stand out, with an emphasis on the interface with Intellectual/Industrial Property, working in lines of research related to patents, innovation and technological information, also in lines related to green technologies. , such as: gasification, combustion, pyrolysis, wind and solar energy generation; in addition to fluidized bed technology, via modeling, simulation and optimization by neural networks. More recently, the researcher has incorporated technology and brewing production processes into the scope of his research.
