This paper aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature on patent analysis published by Indian researchers using the Scopus database from 2005 to 2024. Data is extracted from the Scopus database for the bibliometric study. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer are used as software to analyze the performance of the literature on patent analysis in India. There is a fluctuation in the yearwise publication outputs and citations of the articles. Monika Gupta, R K Sastry, and A K Tiwari were the prominent author. The institution “Jaypee Institute of Information Technology” in Delhi and the journal “Journal of Intellectual Property Rights” are identified as the pivotal places of origin of the articles. The article “Phycobiliproteins as a Commodity: Trends in Applied Research, patents and Commercialization” by Sekar Soundarapandian is the most cited article, published in 2008. The conceptual structure of the literature on patent analysis is analyzed and visualized using keywords co-occurrence to identify the emerging themes of the aforementioned topic. These findings assist practitioners, policymakers, and editors in further development.
