6 Map of priority filings EP:18 PCT:4 More than 80% of patent have been filed directly in France, 11% with EPO application and 4% with PCT application.

7 Map of extensions 49 EP: PCT:97 2 French applicants extend their patents mainly in industrial areas (EP, US, JP, CA ) and BRIC countries. 40% of patents are extended with EPO application and 60% with PCT application.

8 Main applicants The sector is dominated by institutional applicants (IFPEN, CNRS, INRA ). Private research centers are also represented in the French top applicant chart: ARD, CEVA, VALAGRO. Industrial applicants are represented by agro-chemist (Roquette, Agrichimie, Cargill ), Chemists (Arkema, Rhodia ), petro-chemists (Total, BP ) and Start-up (Global Bioenergies, Deinove ). Institutional applicants (68) Industrial applicants (70)

Industrial applicants are represented by agro-chemist (Roquette, Agrichimie, Cargill ), Chemists (Arkema,

10 Portfolio technical breakdown For a deeper analysis of the portfolio, patent families have been classified according to two criteria in relation to the type of molecule and process. Those are the followings: Segmentation du Portefeuille Procédé de conversation et/ou de traitement - Gasification - Pyrolyse - Hydrolyse Enzymatique - Fermentation - Fisher Tropsch - Conversion Catalytique - Traitement Thermomécanique - Traitement Thermochimique - Methanization Type de Composé - Acetone Butanol Ethanol - Acides Organiques - Aldéhydes - Alkenes - Amines - Ethanol - vanilline - surfactants - Xylose - Biopolymeres - Biofertilizer - Furfural et dérivés - Composés Gazeux - Fuel - hexose - pentose - Glucose - Cellulose fractionning -
