Gestão da transferência tecnológica: o caso do Núcleo de Inovação e Transferência de Tecnologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande.

Abstract

In the last years, the innovation has been a prominent and highly cited subject in the corporate world. The universities that operate with innovative projects and potential commercialization through applied research are an asset for the country's economic and social development. The institutions rely on the help of the Innovation Centers in the process of protecting the technologies developed and their insertion into the market. In view of that, this paper aims to analyze the reality of the UFCG aiming to propose a technology transfer management through the licensing with the intention of inserting the technologies patented by the Nucleus of Innovation and Technology Transfer of the Federal University of Campina Grande in the market .The methodology is characterized as a qualitative case study, using a descriptive approach, based on the survey of the technologies and the number of patent applications generated by the area of the institution, being still considered as applied research. As a result, it was possible to identify a growth in the number of intellectual property registrations in the institution, but the innovation nucleus does not carry out technology transfer.
