从国内外专利数据看富勒烯在化妆品领域的发展

Analysis of the development of fullerene in cosmetics based on domestic and foreign patent data

利用中国国家知识产权局和欧洲专利局的数据库,检索了富勒烯在化妆品领域的专利情况,溯源了富勒烯在化妆品中的应用起点,研究对比了专利数据量、专利申请人/发明人、主要技术领域、公开时间和申请地区等方面的数据,并得到了国内外富勒烯化妆品的专利申请现状。发现我国富勒烯总体来说与世界水平保持一致;在时间上起步稍晚,较世界范围内其他国家有滞后性;在质量上具有世界性的难题,即缺乏技术创新性,以制剂、包装外观设计为主;在数量上具备世界领先优势,为全球第二大富勒烯化妆品专利申请国;在所属地域上,以富勒烯行业巨头如日本三菱集团为主,本土企业由于起步时间较晚,仍与世界前沿集团具有较大差距,但对于化妆品行业而言,本土企业与传统海外大牌对比已占据主动地位。

Fullerene is an excellent anti-aging raw material for cosmetic industry,which has strong free radical scavenging ability.Current work on fullerene has been mostly focused on its applications and properties,but there are few studies on the patents regarding its application in cosmetics.Herein,the development of fullerene in its application in cosmetics was analyzed by searching the patents regarding fullerene in cosmetic industry in the databases from China National Intellectual Property Administration and European Patent Office.The main technical fields of patents,the applicants and inventors,the publication date and the region were analyzed.Data comparison was also conducted according to above aspects at home and abroad.It was found that fullerene-containing cosmetics in China was generally consistent with the world level.China started a little later than other countries in terms of time;there are quality problems worldwide,e.g.,the lack of technical innovation,patents mainly related to appearance or packaging.As the second largest patent applicant country for fullerene-containing cosmetics in the world,China obviously has leading advantage in terms of quantity.Among the applicant regions being considered,fullerene industry giants such as Japanese Mitsubishi are the main ones.Due to the late start of domestic enterprises,there is still a big gap with the world's leading groups.However,in cosmetics industry,it can be said that domestic enterprises have taken the initiative when contrasted with traditional overseas brands.
