A gestão das inovações tecnológicas na universidade diante da compreensão constitucional do conteúdo material do direito de patente: a posição jurídica vulnerável da Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

In a broad sense, this study adressed the subject of intellectual property, which traditionally comprehends two major fields of rights: copyright and industrial property law. In a more restricted sense, the research focused on the industrial property of patent rights and, more specifically, on the prominence of science and technology institutions (ICT) in the filling of patent applications with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), notably public universities. Also as a methodological focus, the analysis deemed the case of Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL), which appear in all the last six rankings of the largest national depositors published by the INPI, between 2015 and 2020. The text was divided into four sections and the conclusions, making use of the deductive-inductive method for a bibliographic, legislative and documentary analysis with a descriptive objective. The theme combines subjects marked by interdisciplinarity in the literature, but the analysis and proposed conclusions are essentially legal. In other words, studies already developed and published in other areas were considered only for complementary and clarifying purposes.
