Abstract: Through searching in the non-patent database，we summarized the latest research progress of the Ebola virus (EBOV), and depending on the patent analysis，we have understood the basic information about the key points which the inventors focus on. It was found that the amount of patent applications and outbreaks have some correlation；the patent applicant are more for the government-led or non-profit organization；the latest patent applications were concerned about the importance of the GP protein in the virus infection， antibodies and vaccines for GP proteins are being developed，among which Mapp biopharmaceutical companys products“Zmapp” are currently the best results as experimental biologic drugs.
