Abstract
This work shows a patent database for Coronaviruses that provides an overview of the patenting activity and trends in focused antiviral therapy with the use of triazole based compounds, glycoprotein, and protease inhibitors as possible treatment.
The patent data was obtained from Orbit Intelligence Software using a patent family structure to get a big database that could be used for built patent landscape report (PLR), market analysis, technical and competitive intelligence, and monitoring and survey of a new ideas for the treatment of coronavirus diseases.
The raw data is reported in four databases, which were classified according to different items: legal status (alive, dead), 1st application year (after 2015, 2011-2015, 2006-2010, 2001-2005), and Top 5 International Patents Classifications (IPC).
The main players, the investment trend, markets, geographical distribution, technology overview, technologies distribution, and patent citation are showed by this analysed data report.

2. Experimental Design, Materials, and Methods
The dataset patents were obtained and analysed using Orbit Intelligence Software (version 1.9.8) from Questel-Orbit.This software has a comprehensive suite for searching, analysing, and managing inventions and IP assets [2,3].
The advanced search option has nine fields: Title, Abstract, Claims, Description, Object of the Invention, Advantages of the Invention Over Previous Art, Independent Claims, Concepts, and Full text. The Fampat Collection was used for search and analysis data and the Fampat module coverage of worldwide patent publications is published by more than 100 patent authorities (Orbit Intelligence Software) [4].
The methodology for searching patents is similar to the one reported by different areas: fisheries [5], petroleum bioremediation techniques [6], propagation in sugar industry [7], analysis of dental caries in primary teeth [8], and hydrogen economic analysis [9].
The selection of keywords was based on a list of compounds that could be useful for the treatment of disease [10], [11], [12], the search strategy was based on the revision of search strategies and then the keywords and IPC combination on the Orbit Platform was used. The advanced search assistant was used with the term related to antiviral therapy. So, the script for the equation search was
((CORONAVIRUS)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ADB/ICLM/KEYW AND (ANTIVIRAL THERAPY)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW)
((CORONAVIRUS)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ADB/ICLM/KEYW AND (ANTIVIRAL THERAPY)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW AND (TRIAZOLE)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW)
((CORONAVIRUS)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ADB/ICLM/KEYW AND (ANTIVIRAL THERAPY)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW AND (GLYCOPROTEIN)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW)
((CORONAVIRUS)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ADB/ICLM/KEYW AND (ANTIVIRAL THERAPY)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW AND (PROTEASE INHIBITOR)/TI/AB/CLMS/DESC/ODES/OBJ/ICLM/KEYW)
Where TI: Title; AB: abstract; CLMS: Claims; DESC: description; ODES: Advantages of the Invention Over Previous Art; OBJ: Object of the Invention; ICLM: Independent Claims; KEYW: Keywords; ADB: Concepts
The raw data were recorded on file (XLXS Format) and the out profile was Title, Images, Publication numbers, Publication kind codes, Publication dates, Original document, Earliest priority date, Abstract, Inventors, Representative, Latest standardized assignees - inventors removed, Advantages / Previous drawbacks, Independent claims, Object of invention, Technical concepts, Claims English, description, Keywords in context, CPC - Cooperative classification, IPC - International classification, and PCL - US patent classification.
The analysis data was made with the IP Business Intelligence module, which is a tool used for decision making. It allows you to analyse big volumes of data and it produces different charts according to the analysis made.
