Abstract

The global pet culture-related industry is currently experiencing a trend of expansion. Within the pet industry, pet food holds a significant share, occupying a substantial portion. Presently, the domestic pet food market exhibits a high dependency on imported products, underscoring the critical importance of prioritizing the acquisition of intellectual property rights to ensure competitiveness and facilitate technological development within the relevant industry. we have undertaken an assessment of the current status and prospects of domestic pet food patents. Specifically, we have conducted temporal and applicant-specific statistical analyses, as well as IPC technology analyses, to examine the stages of technological advancement, corporate technological development and innovation capabilities, patent application distribution, and the technological landscape of key enterprises and research institutions. The research findings indicate that domestic research activities related to pet food have entered a mature phase, and the trends in patent applications for domestic pet food indicate a notable participation of multinational corporations alongside domestic enterprises.

전 세계적으로 반려동물 문화와 관련 산업이 함께 확장되고 있다. 반려동물 산업 중 펫푸드(반려동물 식품)는 반려동물 산업에서 상당히 많은 지분을 차지하는 분야이다. 현재 국내 펫푸드 시장은 수입 제품의 의존도가 높은 상황이며, 관련 산업의 경쟁력 확보 및 기술개발을 위해서 지적재산권 확보는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서, 우리는 국내 펫푸드 특허의 현황과 전망을 파악하기 위해 구체적으로 시계열 및 출원인별 통계분석, IPC 기술분석을 실시하여 기술 발전 단계, 기업의 기술개발 및 혁신력, 특허출원 분포와 주요 기업 및 연구기관의 기술을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 펫푸드 관련 국내 연구 활동은 현재 성숙기로 접어든 것으로 나타났으며, 국내 펫푸드에 대한 특허출원 동향은 국내기업 외 다국적 기업의 참여도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 특허출원의 대다수는 사료 및 식품 쪽으로 집중되었다. 향후, 국내 펫푸드 산업의 성장을 위해 국내외 소비자들의 수요와 일치되는 기술개발과 펫푸드로 파생되는 IT 및 첨담기술을 접목하여 특허 기술을 발전시킬 필요가 있다. 이러한 연구와 개발을 통해 우리는 국내 펫푸드 산업이 지속적인 성장을 이루어낼 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
