Abstract: In order to better understand the development status and trend of tomato industry in China and provide the reference for the related technology breakthrough, this paper used the incoPat intelligence science and technology innovation platform as retrieval and analysis tools, to analyzed the number of applications, application region and its technical composition, types of patent and applicants, the patentee and its technical form, IPC forming and its technological changes. Results showed, Chinese tomato related patent applicants were mainly enterprises, colleges and universities and individuals, patent applications were mainly concentrated in Anhui, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shandong, etc., The core technology of tomato patent was mainly composed of food or food preparation and treatment, horticultural cultivation, microorganism or enzyme and its composition, fertilizer or pesticide or soil conditioner, etc. Tomato industry should develop genes with more important value and establish the efficient regeneration and transformation system, use molecular techniques combined with traditional breeding techniques and breed tomato varieties with the resistance to the diseases and insect, strengthen the proprietary intellectual property rights consciousness and develop and broaden the new technology, realize the differentiation development with foreign technology and strengthen patent strategy research.
