The aim of the article was to comprehend the global R&D status and technology distribution of antiviral drugs. Metrological methods were used. The annual application number, geographical distribution, applicants, high value patents and technical topics of antiviral drugs patents worldwide were analyzed. The R&D of antiviral drugs had a certain time and space correlation with the prevalence of viral diseases. The United States, China and Japan played a leading role in the field of antiviral drug research, with different emphasis on technology. “Gilead Sciences Inc” biopharmaceutical company occupied a leading position in this field. The research on compounds containing 3,4-dihydrobenzopyran and the herbs from asteraceae or compositae occupied a large part. Antiviral activity and antitumor activity were mostly crossed. The research of antiviral drugs may show a new growth trend in the next three years. The United States plays a leading role in the field of antiviral technology. Traditional Chinese Medicine had a competitive advantage in the research of antiviral drugs in China, being of great significance.
