Abstract

Lycii Fructus is a traditional medicinal and edible herb, with the function of liver and kidney nourishing, blood and eyesight replenishing. As the most important active substance in the fruits of Lycium barbarum, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) have been demonstrated to play multiple pharmacological activities, with broad prospects for development and utilization. Based on the comprehensive deep analysis of global LBP patent output, the current patent LBP features were explored from the perspective of development trend, technology field distribution, time dimension, technology life curve and patent applicant. The development trend of Chinese LBP industry was also revealed. At present, the research and development of LBP is in the "development period", with a good development track in which the main research institutions remain domestic ones. At the same time, problem still presents in the lack of industrialization, which means that the advantage of natural resources has not been transformed into industrial advantages of LBP. The format of potential product group and prospect of LBP were also analyzed to provide scientific information for the effective development,comprehensive utilization and collaborative innovation mechanism of Chinese Lycium barbarum resources and LBP.

Keywords: Lycii Fructus; Lycium barbarum polysaccharides; development countermeasure; patent analysis; resource industrialization.
