TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING ON A CURE DIABETES MELLITUS
Abstract
The Diabetes mellitus is considered a worldwide public health problem, as it causes impacts to productivity and on quality of life of millions of people, and encumber the public health service with the treatment and its frequent complications. Currently, scientific and technological researches are developed to solve this issue. In this sense, the present work aimed to perform a technological forecasting in order to verify the technological advances regarding the cure of Diabetes Mellitus on the international scene, from the analysis of deposits patent applications willing, the last 05 years, in the European Patent Office and on the Bank of World Organization of Intellectual Property. Considering the collected data, it was found that China is the largest holder of patents number, in both technological banks, especially for deposits on the A61K (22) and A61P subclasses of the International Patent Classification, having, however, reduction in the overall quantity of patents during the period under study.
