description In addition to recent literature published in journals included in Science Citation Index and other bibliographic database, there is a very important source of information in patent databases. As it has been established, a patent application should be made before any publication. A strategic study of the development of inventions in a given field of research can be made through patent information. In this paper the authors used an Automated System for Patent Surveillance (SiVigPat®) to study the development of international patents concerning concrete corrosion and protection. An increase of patent application has been observed since 1989 in the field of concrete reinforced corrosion and protection. Databases processed were from the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries. Patents related to concrete corrosion and protections were divided into three main classifications: monitoring, electrochemical protection and admixtures. The highest number of patent application is related to chemical admixtures. When all the different types of admixtures and methods for electrochemical protection, as also monitoring methods are studied, a complete state of the art in the field is obtained. A tendency to increase patents concerning electrochemical protection and monitoring methods is observed since 1984.
