The view on the patent landscape for the application of supercritical fluids shows that the field is growing even stronger then 10 years ago. This proves the high attraction power even after 25 years of global development. Regional and branches statistics are shown. The number of independent patents filed in the area has reached 8600, showing that the use of specialized databanks is recommendable in order to keep the overview over the whole technology area.
