Abstract

Intellectual property in sports is a little studied subject, therefore, there is a lack of relevant information to describe the global panorama of innovation in the sports industry. This article aims to identify the trends in the international sports industry and the Colombian reality about the protection of innovation in the patent market. Through an exploratory study, bibliometric indicators were characterized for patents in the last 20 years.  The results show a remarkable increase since 2007 in patent registrations being China the most innovative country; the market of the devices for physical training devices presents the greater growth at a global level. In Colombia, 17 patent families and six strategic segments are registered for the development of highly innovative products.
