Abstract

Due to the large amount of irrigated areas in Brazil and the waste that this practice causes, the search for solutions that mitigate the misuse and cheapening of irrigation methods is essential. This article aims to prospect patent documents referring to automated irrigation systems. For this technological prospect, combinations of IPC codes and keywords were used, this information was obtained through the European database Espacenet, patent documents were classified and grouped. Statistical analyzes of the time elapsed from deposit to publication were performed. With the analyses, it was possible to verify that China, the United States and Japan had a highlight in the amount of patents deposited, representing 83.65% of the total, and most were deposited by individual inventors.
