Abstract

The development of technologies for the study of bats allows for more in-depth research on this essential group for the ecosystem, as they act in the ecological balance, as the main dispersers, pollinators and controllers of agricultural pests in certain regions of the planet. Patent technology for bioacoustics studies of the order Chiroptera, based on data platforms: National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), European Patent Office (EPO), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Google Patents. The search terms were: bat echolocation, bat bioacoustics, bats echolocation and bats bioacoustics. The word “Bats” was predominant in Google Patents 47.8%, EPO 12.5%, WIPO 6.4%. The data obtained suggest that technologies aimed at bat bioacoustics are emerging, having increased in the last decade, an important factor for the applicability of new techniques for conservation and monitoring of fauna.
