Proposição de modelo de avaliação do potencial da transferência tecnológica, com base na oferta e demanda dos pedidos de patentes: o caso da UFAL

Abstract

Evaluate academic patent deposit is an art that demands broad technical knowledge in addition to the need to analyze various elements. With this, it was identified the need to propose a model that includes the maximum number of criteria necessary for this evaluation was identified, and that can be applied to any patent deposit in any location, the state of Alagoas being chosen as the object of this study. The general objective of this work is to propose a model for analyzing the potential for technology transfer in patent applications, using as the core of the analysis the applications filed in 2021 by the Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL). The reason for choosing the sample to be the year 2021 was to provide an analysis of the most recent technologies developed by UFAL, in the case of this work, 05 technologies were studied. The model predicts UFAL's external and internal factors, making it possible to identify relevant technologies in this academic, social and economic environment, observing the supply and demand sides of its patent applications. The model seeks to identify how UFAL can contribute to local development through innovation and also benefit from what this external environment offers.; it also considers the concept of the Triple Helix, which addresses the relationship between universities, industry and government, and how the knowledge produced within the academy can and should overcome the barriers around universities; and the socioeconomic scenario in Alagoas is also analyzed in relation to UFAL's patent applications. The research necessary for the construction of this dissertation is characterized by its basic purpose, bibliographic and documentary procedures, exploratory, explanatory and descriptive objectives, applied and field conception, in addition to the technological prospecting carried out and the immediate purpose due to the proposition and availability of the model of technology transfer assessment. The result achieved after submitting the 05 technologies to the model was the identification, through scoring and TRL, of the technology with the greatest viability of technology transfer.
