Por uma efetiva gestão das patentes universitárias: uma prospecção de gestão

Abstract

In Brazil, public universities assume a central role in research and innovation development, being the majority among the ‘10 National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) largest patent depositors’ institutions list. The university patents management is currently inserted in a scenario of intellectual property management and innovation policy greater institutionalization, under the Innovation Law’s power. In this context, this paper aims to ponder about the university patents management. Based on that, analyze patent management within the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) scope, and establish an interface with the model adopted by the University of Brasília (UnB). Thus, based on the elements presented, establish a diagnosis for identification of the main characteristics and hindrances involving the UFBA university patent management. Supported on the understanding of the creation protection, innovation and technology transfer institutional policies at UFBA, proposals are established indicating the main axes of institutional confrontation.
