1. Preservation of human or animal bodies, or plants, or parts thereof; biocides; repellents or attractants; plant growth regulators (A01N). 2 . Gardening; growing vegetables, flowers, rice, fruits, grapes, hops, or seaweed; forestry; irrigation (A01G). 3 . Biocidal, repellent, attractant, or plant growth regulators (A01P). 4 . Livestock; poultry breeding; apiculture; pisciculture; fishing; rearing or breeding of animals not covered by other subclasses; new animal breeds (A01K). 5 . Tillage in agriculture or forestry; assemblies, parts, and appliances for agricultural machinery or implements in general (A01B).
Here are the world’s top five patenting areas that meet the Global Sustainable Development Goal 2, “Overcoming Hunger, Developing Agriculture.” This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted by DNU “Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information” based on the platform Derwent Innovation, which allows you to search and analyze information to make informed decisions about intellectual property, research, and business.
What does Ukraine look like in this study?
The total sample of patents in the database of Derwent Innovation in the field of “Agriculture” in Ukraine is 7517 units. The number of filed patent applications is characterized by the dynamics of the recession. The dynamics of activity to the number of published patents in 2011-2013 were stable, and from 2014 to 2017 the number of published patents gradually decreased, in 2018 this number increased to the value of 2013.
The main patent holders in Ukraine in the field of “Agriculture” in 2011-2018 were the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (398 patents) and the Dnieper State Agrarian Economic University (123 patents); individuals have 55 patents.
The main 5 areas in which patenting was carried out in Ukraine:
1. Tillage in agriculture or forestry; components, parts, and appliances for agricultural machinery or implements in general (А01В).
2. Preservation of human or animal bodies, or plants, or parts thereof; biocides; repellents or attractants; plant growth regulators (А01N).
3. Livestock; poultry breeding; apiculture; pisciculture; fishing; rearing or breeding of animals not covered by other subclasses; new breeds of animals (A01K).
4. Planting; sowing; fertilizer (A01C).
5. Gardening; growing vegetables, flowers, rice, fruits, grapes, hops, or seaweed; forestry; irrigation (A01G).
The dynamics of patenting in Ukraine in the top 5 areas are characterized by a slight decline in 2014-2015 and a gradual increase in 2016-2018.
