Abstract: In this study, a search and statistical analysis of the patent applications in China relating to the Antarctic krill industry was performed. The overall trend, patent type, IPC category, applicant country, key areas of distribution, legal status, and life cycle as well as the freedom to operate were analyzed. In addition, the characteristics of the Antarctic krill industry patents regarding the development period of new technologies were investigated. It was determined that patent applications in China are lagging behind those of foreign applicants, and it is proposed that a strategy of innovation be implemented to avoid the patent-barrier risk to industrial development of Antarctic krill.
