The paper presents the systematization of inventions and utility models related to anilox roller application, production, care, maintenance and quality control. The article is devoted to the new techniques that deal with the ink transfer unit with anilox roller application. In-depth analysis on the dynamics of patenting developments inking units, printing processes, materials and equipment that use an anilox roller has been carried out. A cumulative curve of patent information by patenting years has been built. Major countries and companies applicants for patents have been highlighted. Main patent developments areas have been identified.

Keywords: patent research, patenting dynamics, anilox roller, systemization, inking units.
