Abstract: In order to fill the gap in patent analysis of suction bucket foundation technology in China， this article analyzes the overall development trend， patent types and effectiveness， technology development stages， regional distribution， innovation entities， and hot areas of patent technology by using the method of bibliometrics that based on relevant patent data. The analysis results show that the patent technology of suction bucket foundation in China is in a rapid growth stage， with a high proportion of effective patents and nearly 60% of invention patents. The patent application areas are mainly concentrated in economically developed coastal areas， and the overall trend of regional development is from north to south. The proportion of enterprises among applicants is the highest， and hot technology fields are highly concentrated. In the future， the development of patent technology in China should focus on improving patent quality， balancing regional development， improving the cooperation of industryuniversityacademy， expanding the application fields of technology， and improving the rationality of technology field layout.
