The objective of the work presented in this paper is the identification of innovations and new processes in split leather. For this, a process of technological surveillance was done through the search of information referred to canine toys, process technologies, normativity, and trends. Life cycle analysis of the technologies through S curves was applied. Among the most important documents found were two new processes for the manufacture of canine toys described in two patents in the United States. Also, for split leather flour its inflection point in articles was presented in the period 2016-2018, which represents an opportunity to continue research on this technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
