Abstract
This study deals with a descriptive and analytical study of the different metaphorical uses found in biotechnological European patent documents. According to methodological proposals of Corpus Linguistics, a corpus has been built with 50 texts taken from patent documents which are evidences of how patent drafters make use of different types of metaphors during the process of claim and description of the patents.
