Processes proposal for the intellectual property commercialization management in a technology licensing office from a Brazilian Scientific and Technological Institution

In Brazil, in recent years, the Intellectual Property (IP) rights and cooperation between Scientific and Technological Institution (STI) and company have intensified interest, despite the process of knowledge generation and transformation of this knowledge into innovation and wealth be in an embryonic stage. The IP concerns the branch of law, which deals with the legal protection granted to all human mind creations, such as inventions, for example. Legal protection technologies according to IP rights, as well as the management of these protected technologies in an STI, is the responsibility of Technological Licensing Office (TLO). One of the challenges encountered by TLO is concerning the management of IP to use multiple mechanisms to shape decisions for the protection of new technologies, considering the TLO innovation strategy. From this perspective, to define the organizational processes that will enable the protection of generated creations under the TLO, it is essential to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the IP management. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present a process model for the technologies protection based on IP, contained in the a TLO portfolio, as a way of leveraging technologies transferred, invented or developed by STI to a receiving organization.
