| Sumario: | A study was carried out to prospect the patentability of cosmetic products containing ingredients derived from cocoa in the last 20 years. Consideration of the bioactive antioxidant properties of cocoa discussed in the literature was a relevant factor in the choice of patent classification codes. The research was aimed at obtaining information about the main trends in the applicability of cocoa in cosmetic formulations and was conducted using the Orbit Intelligence database. In total, 1321 patent documents were identified within the scope of the study (universe), including "live" and "dead" patents. The year 2016 had the highest number of documents, and the companies L'Oréal and Shiseido stood out with the highest number of patent families (28 families). The technologies and applications of cocoa in the sector are wide and versatile, with cocoa butter being the most widely used raw material. |
