Abstract

Objective

The concept of substances of medicine food homology (SMFH) has garnered significant attention in recent years. This study conducts a systematic analysis of patent literature related to SMFH, and elucidates the development trends, technical hotspots, and the overall patent protection landscape of SMFH in China over the past two decades.

Methods

The patent search focused on the SMFH varieties as the objects of inquiry, with retrieval conducted in patent databases. Subsequently, the acquired data underwent processing, analysis, and visualization.

Results

While the technical threshold for pharmaceutical applications surpasses that of the food service sector, the former may assume a prominent role in the future. Research and development (R&D) activities in the southeast of China demonstrate robust activity than other regions. Colleges and scientific research institutions exhibit substantial advantages in patent applications compared with individuals and hold greater potential for future development.

Conclusion

The findings of this patent analysis indicate that China’s SMFH industry are presently undergoing a transition from an extensive model to a high-quality model. The quality and technical standards of SMFH products are consistently improving. Consequently, there is a need for more stringent patent application requirements to align with the evolving development needs.

中国药食同源保健品专利分析

目的药食同源物质（SMFH）的概念近年来备受关注。本研究对与SMFH相关的专利文献进行了系统分析，阐明了近二十年来SMFH在中国的发展趋势、技术热点以及专利保护的总体情况。方法专利检索以SMFH品种为研究对象，在专利数据库中进行检索，然后对获得的数据进行处理、分析和可视化。结果虽然医药应用的技术门槛超过了餐饮行业，但前者在未来可能会占据重要地位。与其他地区相比，中国东南部地区的研究与开发（R&D）活动十分活跃。与个人相比，高等院校和科研机构在专利申请方面具有较大优势，未来发展潜力较大。SMFH产品的质量和技术标准正在不断提高。因此，有必要制定更严格的专利申请要求，以适应不断发展的需求。
