Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze for the patent application tendency in mibyeong. Mibyeong is a concept in Korean Medicine meaning sub-health state, and treatment of mibyeong can be understood as preventive medicine. This concept laid a foundation for the development of Korean, Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine. In this paper, we describe a meaningful data for efficient R&D through patent analysis of mibyeong focusing on the Korea, Japan and China. Method : We collected patents about mibyeong using Focust, IPDL search tools. We analyzed patents according to the year, topic, country and etc. Results & Conclusion : We collected 1,577 patents and selected 807 patents as useful patents. After detailed analysis on mibyeong patent, we got to know that research about mibyeong was a growing field. In the collected patents, the patents on treatment device(except treatment compositions) were the majority and system of providing information were the second largest. We think that the mibyeong field is growing at a fast pace with high activity, and this research should be updated annually.
