Resumo
This paper presents a panorama of the flavor and fragrance (F&F) technological sector, constructed with
the use of patent applications worldwide. Information from patent documents was retrieved using databases,
yielding 5474 documents related to 2903 patent families for the last 10 years. The information
within these documents goes far beyond a mere technical description of technologies. They include data
regarding the assignee, year of application, countries where the patents have been applied, the technical
sector of technologies and other aspects. These data were grouped by category to determine the actual
reality of F&F technologies. The panorama obtained with the patent data showed some curious results.
Crossing data regarding patents and markets, it is clear that the largest companies not always are those
that apply for the most patents. In this work, the correlation between innovation and the production of
patents is discussed. Inside the patent landscape, a specific group of patents has been analyzed. The 416
triadic patents found generated an island within the original landscape with its own environment. This
environment and some trends and facts regarding triadic patents are discussed.
