Descripción
Sumario:The study of technologies involving algae and their applications in industry is relevant, since algae are important both ecologically and economically. Ecologically they are important for marine life and for photosynthesis, releasing most of the available oxygen; economically it can be used in several industry segments. In order to assess the innovative capacity of the technologies involved in this scenario, data from patent documents extracted from the INPI-BR database were used where 269 patent documents were selected, 96 on obtaining compounds from algae in general, 65 on treatment against algae in general, 56 on using algae in general as part of a product and / or process, 51 on algae production in general and 1 on algae conservation in general. However, it was found that only 11% of these documents have the industrial segment revealed, with emphasis on the pharmaceutical industries, and food and beverages with 7 patent documents each.
