Abstract

In recent years, it has been realized that with the development of the market, companies are seeking to innovate, through the creation of new technologies. From this, new sciences arise, such as nanotechnology, which covers different areas, through the manipulation of atoms and molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to use the technological mapping to measure the production of these technologies. The aim of this study is to map nanotechnology-related technological innovations through the analysis of patent deposits of the European Patent Office (EPO) international base, in order to verify the progress of nanotechnology research in the world. The methodology used was the exploratory research through documentary analysis through EPO database. It has been realized with the research that many technologies are being created in different countries of the world, even more it is necessary to stimulate the partnerships between Universities and companies in the production of patents related to nanotechnology.
