This thesis presents the main aspects related to the production, protection and commercialization of scientific and technological knowledge of Amazonian plants, highlighting the importance of conservation, sustainable use and the contribution for the bioeconomy of the region. The objective of this research was to analyze the generation, protection and commercialization of scientific and technological knowledge about the plant species present in the Amazon through scientific production and patenting. To achieve the proposed objective, 10,674 plant species present in the Brazilian Amazon were analyzed using the bibliometric approach for the development of a quantitative study of scientific production and patent documents. The results indicated that 70.79% of the analyzed species do not have any type of scientific production, as well as 94.97% did not have technological development associated with patenting. A restricted group of plants (50 species or 0.47% of the total analyzed) represented 51.13% of scientific production and 79.80% of technological production. Some species have reached such importance for society and for the productive sector that patent documents even surpass the number of scientific publications, such as purple nut sedge (Cyperus rotundus) and purslane (Portulaca oleracea). It was further noted that Brazil stands out in the production of knowledge related to the analyzed species, however, the same does not occur in the context of technological development. China, on the other hand, stands out in this scenario due to the expressive number of patent documents, in addition to a higher average growth rate in our studies time range. The analysis of patent documents for the 14 species of plants in the Brazilian Amazon indicated a special interest from China, the United States and Japan in the technological development of some specific species, such as Croton lechleri (dragon's blood), Ceiba pentandra (cottontree) and Virola surinamensis (white ucuba), surpassing the Brazilian patent deposit. Brazil, therefore, stands out in the patenting of Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut) and Carapa guianensis (andiroba). In regards to the relationship between Brazilian universities and Institutes of Science and Technology (IST) with the productive sector, only 9.38% of the analyzed deposits have partnerships, suggesting a low connection between them in the context of Amazonian plant species. Thus, the diversity of plant species in the Amazon is of great importance for Brazil to stand out in terms of production, protection and commercialization of scientific and technological knowledge. However, it is still necessary to develop initiatives that promote the quantity and quality of research, development and innovation activities in Brazil and especially in the Amazon.
