Caracterização dos depósitos de patentes na classe aeronave, aviação e cosmonauta a partir do caso das Instituições Científicas, Tecnológicas e de Inovação (ICTs) brasileiras

Abstract

The objective of this study is to characterize the patent deposits of scientific, technological and innovation institutions (STIIs) in class B64 - aircraft, aviation and cosmonaut, from the operational, institutional and technological subclass dimensions. The intention to exploit patenting in STIIs stems from the fact that such institutions work in scientific and technological research or the creation of new goods and services. The data of the deposits were collected in the base of the INPI between the years of 2004 to 2018, and the documentary research was used as procedure for the study of the patent documents. The results showed that although patenting in class B64 is scarce, the technological subclass dimension reveals that STIIs have prioritized patenting in subclass B64C - airplanes and helicopters. On the other hand, it was observed that the subclass B64B - aircraft lighter than air, has not been much explored by the STIIs. In addition, it has been found that patenting collaborations with national and international partners have not been an option explored by STIIs in the sector. This study collaborates with the sectors related to aircraft, aviation and cosmonaut, since it presents useful bases on ownership in patents for the production of future studies in the segment.
