Abstract: Since the advent of the technology system for gene editing by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats（CRISPR）in 2012,it has been developed rapidly in the fields of medicine,agriculture and environmental protection in just five years due to its characteristics,such as editing multiple sites simultaneously,high efficiency of editing and easy operation of design process,etc. A statistical analysis of the world-wide patents in the field of the CRISPR from 2006-2017 is accomplished based on patent search and service system of SIPO,and the future CRISPR gene editing technology is prospected,aiming at understanding the current situation,development trends,hotspot,distribution and competition pattern in this field.

Key words: global, CRISPR, patent, information analysis
