A current and growing trend in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industry is the development of natural products, especially of plant origin. The plant surveyed here, Moringa oleifera, has various biological properties and is also being used to purify water for human consumption. This study aims to evaluate the use of M. oleifera analyzing patents based on information collected between the period from 1995 to 2015 using the databases of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), European Institute of Patent Office (EPO) and National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). The parameters analyzed were the quantity, the filing date, the title, the abstract, the applicant, the inventor, the international classification and technological focus. These results demonstrate that in Brazil the number of patent applications for M. oleifera is considerably lower than in other countries, in spite of a number research articles on the subject, leading to a loss of competitiveness this area.
