This patent landscape study provides a detailed overview of innovation in antioxidants derived from Lamiaceae plants, offering valuable insights into current trends and future opportunities for research and industrial development. As medicinal preparations, antioxidants from plants such as rosemary, thyme, and lavender are increasingly used in treatments targeting oxidative stress and related health conditions. The primary focus lies on the antioxidant properties of Lamiaceae plants, which have gained significant attention for their ability to scavenge free radicals, providing vital protection against oxidative damage.

To identify patents related to plant-based antioxidants derived from the Lamiaceae family, we followed an approach based on the intersection of different Cooperative Patent (CPC) codes, which enables the identification of relevant patents by combining therapeutic applications, medicinal preparations, and botanical classifications. The results of this analysis were then presented in terms of publication trends, jurisdictional distribution, key players, classification overview, and technological focus within market dynamics.

The data indicate a steady increase in the number of patents published from 2001 to 2021. The analysis shows a diverse distribution of key players across regions. China leads in terms of both the number of applicants and innovation diversity, followed by the United States and Europe. Asia’s robust representation underscores the global importance of Lamiaceae-derived antioxidants in various industrial sectors. The presence of European players indicates a steady focus on applications with high commercial value, such as cosmetics and functional foods, while North American companies drive advancements in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The CPC subgroup analysis demonstrates that patents for antioxidants from Lamiaceae plants are mainly concentrated in medicinal, dermatological, and cosmetic applications. The versatility of these plants supports innovation in pharmaceuticals, skincare, and wellness products, with a growing trend towards natural and sustainable solutions in various industries.
