Itinerários para depósito de uma patente: da busca patentária à aplicação escalável

Abstract

With the growth in patent applications, it has become extremely important to know all the steps involved in filing a patent. The process of filing a patent covers a series of crucial steps that require inventors and researchers to understand in order to protect their discoveries. However, even with the growing production of patents in universities, these steps have become a real challenge for researchers in the academic field due to the scarcity of information, which demonstrates the need for a set of data that can help identify the level of technological maturity associated with the invention and the application for a patent in the academic field. The aim of this work was to produce a document that compiles the relevant information from a journey towards filing a patent. In this way, a brief review is presented containing relevant terms, stages that precede the process of developing the object of the patent up to the preparation of the application. Legal aspects and the distribution of coauthorship involving intellectual property are also clarified. The development of this material has provided succinct guidance to be used by the academic community that wants to improve itself in this field of broad growth that is the patent universe.
