• Abstract:

  This article aimed to analyze

  the biotechnological domains used to combat

  the Aedes aegypti mosquito under a patent

  approach. Orbit Intelligence software was used

  as a patent search database using the term

  “Aedes aegypti” as the key word in the advanced

  search field, selecting only the patents that used

  as the dominant technology, Biotechnology.

  The results showed that the number of biotech

  patents has grown significantly in the last

  twenty years, most of which are protected in

  the United States and the World Intellectual

  Property Organization (WIPO) via the PCT.

  The most frequent sections in the patent

  portfolio are related to the areas of chemistry

  and human needs represented by subclasses

  A61K, A61P, A01N, A01P, A01H, C12N, C07K,

  C12P, C07H and C12R. Regarding authorship,

  the main inventors were Presta Leonard and

  Avi Ashkenaz, being Yamamoto hide policy,

  Morishita and Genentech the representatives

  with the largest number of patent families. The

  significant growth in the number of biotech patent

  deposits evidenced in the results demonstrates

  the interest of companies and research centers.
