Eugenol is a natural product found in greater quantity in the Eugenia Caryophyllata and exhibits a wide variety of biological and pharmacological applications, making it a product of great commercial interest.Motivated by its applications, this work aimed to investigate the technological potential and the scientific interest of this compound through an analysis of patents databases and indexed journals.The searches were carried out in three patent banks, on the Web of Science platform, and the statistical study was based on the ARIMA (1.1.0)model.The majority of the patent records related to the researched technology had been filed in the Espacenet database and dealt mainly with agriculture and dentistry.A constant linear growth in the number of records of patents granted could be observed over the years, with a remarkable dominance of patents recorded by China (107) followed by the United States (47) and Brazil (22).The h-index for the term eugenol was 107.2 and there was a growing trend of increased patent deposits for the next 50 years.In short, there is great scientific and technological interest, and a strong trend towards increased patent deposits for the next few years on eugenol.
