Yeasts are closely linked to the beer fermentation process, so its use is indispensable for brewing. The yeast group responsible for the fermentation is called Saccharomyces sensu stricto and is formed by yeasts that have characteristics suitable for use in the brewing industry, such as rapid growth, good ethanol production capacity and high tolerance to environmental stresses. After fermentation, the yeast can be harvested to be used again and this process is known as “backslopping”. This paper aims to quantitatively analyze the patent protection profile on the use of brewer's yeast recovered from the brewing process, for example, by observing the number of patent deposits through technological, temporal and geographical profiles around the world. In order to do so, we used the Patent Inspiration software, which allows access to knowledge through the patent database, with emphasis on technological innovation, market, mapping technology and how problems are being solved by universities, companies and research centers. In order to carry out the search, keywords and the International Patent Classification (IPC) were used as filters, in addition to other strategies, in order to carry out a screening of the most relevant patents. After the searches, the results showed that the main holders of yeast recovery technology belong to the following countries, such as: France (FR), Netherlands (NL), China (CN), Japan (JP), Denmark (DK) and Australia (AU); pointing out that new advances in biotechnology are fermentation processes, as well as brewing, can be improved.
