Abstract

The search for technological innovation is an important tool for planning the conservation of forest species and their non-wood products. This study aims to carry out a technological prospection of the use and potential of tree seeds through systematic bibliographic review and technological mapping. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were used to search for articles. Statistical analyzes and graphs were created using Bibliometrix package of the R software. Patent data were prospected and analyzed using Orbit Intelligence. A total of 229 articles and 387 patent documents were mapped. China is the main holder of patents, including patented products from seeds of Brazilian forest species. Although Brazil appears as one of the deposit countries, with emphasis on native species, it was not the country of origin of any research patent. Patents involving tree seeds were developed mainly to supply the food, medicine, and cosmetics industries.
