Gestão da propriedade intelectual e transferência de tecnologia: estudo de caso nos NITS dos IFS da região nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

Intellectual property allows the holder not only to protect their asset, but also the right to commercially exploit it. In Brazil, public Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institutes are the institutions that account for most of the country's scientific and technological production. In addition, the Legal Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation, created by Law No. 13,243/2016 in Brazil, which was recently regulated by Decree No. 9,283/2018, brought important contributions to promote and encourage Technology Transfer. Thus, this research aimed to analyze how the intellectual property assets of the Technological Transfer Offices of the Federal Institutions located in the Northeast region of Brazil are being managed considering the need to transfer technology for innovation. For this purpose, a qualitative bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, with the collection and analysis of primary and secondary data, whose technique was the multiple case study. As a result, it was possible to understand the problems related to the difficulties of Technology Transfer in Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institutes in the Northeast region and to propose strategies for the management of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer to society.
