The textile industry has sought to innovate in its products and processes, such as the use of biotechnology – among them, enzymatic treatment, biological treatment and other treatments (for example bioblasting), highlighting the enzymatic treatment with amylases, cellulases, catalases, peroxidases and pectinase. In order to evaluate the innovative capacity of the technologies involved in this scenario, the data of the patent documents extracted from the INPI-BR database were used, where 39 patent documents were related, 38 of them related to biotechnology in the textile industry deposited by 2013, of which 24 were enzymatic treatment, 4 on biological treatment and 10 on other treatments. The time evolution showed a peak between 1996 and 2000 (except 1999). It was found that the patent documents that had their family originated in the USPTO office had more relevance in the patent deposits with focus on enzymatic treatment, other treatments and biological treatment.
