To analyze the main patents related to diagnosis of sporotrichosis on Espacenet, a patent base with more than 120 million documents, seeking to select free documents for exploitation, with low cost of reproduction, and that can be used to at least minimize problems related to sporotrichosis.Patent2net, an open-source patent collector, was used to search in Espacenet, a database with more than 120 million of patents, documents that will be freely applied in Brazil. In this experiment, the concept of search of \u201csporotrichosis\u201d in the Espacenet database used the sequence of descriptors as follows: \u201c(ta=dimorph* AND ta=fung*) OR (ta=sporotr*) OR (ta=subcut* and ta=fung* AND ta=infect*)\u201d. We identify a Taiwanese patent related to a kit for rapid detection of Sporothrix infection, that can be freely manufactured Brazil and other underdeveloped countries. The technometric analysis performed with P2N can be replicated by any interested in search of technological solutions for numerous problems, especially in poor countries.The technometric analysis performed with P2N can be replicated by any interested in the search of technological solutions for numerous problems. Despite the findings of recent species related to Brazil and the growing epidemic in the city of Rio de Janeiro \u2013 RJ, Brazil, there are no studies regarding the evolution of patents related to the diagnosis or treatment of sporotrichosis."
