Abstract

Brazil is the largest world producer (~18%) and exporter of sugarcane with 36% of representativity in the global market. Besides that, it is the second biggest ethanol producer. This research aimed to perform an updated technological mapping of patent registration related to innovations in sugarcane harvesters and their components. Data collection was taken place through Orbit Questel, using the terms (Sugar and cane and harvester) and (Sugar or cane and harvester) associated with the International Classification of Patents A01D45/10. There is a gap in the mapping of development in sugarcane harvesters, mainly on indicators and information obtained from patent documents. The last analysis carried out refers to the period between 1963 and 2009.The study identified 2135 patent families deposited between 2010 and 2022. The research revealed that Brazil was the second country to register the most patents in this sector during this period. Brazil had 288 family patents registered, showing that the country is a target market for innovation and technological protection related to sugarcane harvesters. The main assignees are multinational companies that configure the vanguard of technological development in 4.0 agriculture, in which there are innovations linked not only to the components destined to enhance the operational performance but also to manage and control the process.
