Abstract

Covid-19 practically stopped the world for two years, bringing several disorders to the world population. During this period, numerous researches were carried out with the aim of finding an effective treatment for this disease that has killed millions of people and that continues to persist today. That said, this paper aims to carry out a search for patents and articles related to the treatment of Covid-19. Patents were searched on Espacenet and INPI and scientific articles on the database: Sciencedirect, Web of Science and Scielo. The search was carried out between the years 2017 and 2021 through the use of different descriptors. The results found demonstrate that the number of patents deposited is very small when compared to published articles and how much Brazil still needs to develop in order to be recognized as a country that seeks solutions for the treatment of Covid-19.
