        Objective. To identify areas of innovation in internationally registered patents focused on diabetic foot ulcers. Methods. This is a quantitative technological prospecting of international patents, from 2020 to 2024, in the World Intellectual Property Organization database, using the descriptor "diabetic foot". Results. 1372 patents were found, with the largest number of registrations originating from China (76.38%), the United States (4.74%), the Patent Cooperation Treaty (3.8%), and India (3.1%). The areas of innovation of the patents were classified into treatment (82.1%), prevention (12.2%), and evaluation (5.7%). Among the patents, 72.8% correspond to medical devices and 27.2% to pharmaceutical compounds. Conclusion. The global trend is towards patents for the treatment of diabetic foot complications.
        Objetivo. Identificar las áreas de innovación de las patentes registradas internacionalmente relacionadas con la úlcera del pie relacionada con la diabetes. Métodos. Se trata de una prospección tecnológica cuantitativa de patentes internacionales, en un período de 2020 a 2024. Se utilizó la base de datos de la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual, utilizando el descriptor «diabetic foot» (pie diabético). Resultados. Se encontraron 1372 patentes, con el mayor número de registros procedentes de China (76.38 %), Estados Unidos (4.74%), el Tratado de Cooperación en materia de Patentes (3.8%) y de la India (3.1%). Las áreas de innovación de las patentes se clasificaron en tratamiento (82.1%), prevención (12.2%) y evaluación (5.7%). Dentro de las patentes, el 72.8 % corresponde a dispositivos médicos y el 27.2 % a compuestos farmacéuticos. Conclusión. La tendencia mundial se centra en las patentes para el tratamiento de complicaciones del pie relacionadas con la diabetes.
