Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify trends in technological developments in biofertiliser products and processes based on patent analysis to help in present and future research. The investigation was carried out in Web of Science and Scopus for the bibliometric study; the Patentscope search tool was used for the status of applications and grants. The results yielded 122 applications and 18 patents granted, showing that the countries that make the most applications are China and Russia. This study provides knowledge about the patenting process, as well as the products and processes related to biofertilisers that have been granted in concession or are in the application process; therefore, the contribution of this work is to offer the latest regarding the development of patents on biofertilisers and sustainability. Biofertiliser innovations respond to a socio-economic and environmental need through precise scientific and technological research activities, guaranteeing adequate and sustainable use of biofertilisers in the market.
