Resolução sobre depósito de Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso objeto de pedidos de patente da Universidade Federal do Maranhão

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a resolution that establishes procedures for the full publication of academic works from undergraduate and graduate courses, which are partially deposited in the UFMA Digital Repository and which originate from patents, in order to regulate the receipt of academic works originating from research that can be patented, promoting their publication through the Digital Library. The proposal seeks to establish clear and consistent guidelines for the submission, evaluation and dissemination of research related to patents, in order to guarantee the protection of intellectual property while facilitating access to scientific knowledge generated at the institution. The methodology applied includes a bibliographic survey in databases of articles, dissertations, theses, laws and regulations, as well as consultation in patent offices, such as the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), in addition to the process of consulting normative acts, on the deposit and availability of academic works protected by patent, from Federal Universities of Northeastern Brazil. The research is classified as exploratory and contributes to the implementation of best practices in innovation management and technology transfer, promoting the visibility and impact of UFMA's scientific productions. From the legislation consulted, we have constitutional amendment no. 85/2015, innovation law, and its amendment with law 13.243/2016, the industrial property law, UFMA's normative acts, the consultation of patents filed with the INPI, by UFMA, and the research on normative acts in other Federal Universities of the Brazilian Northeast, it was possible to reach the objectives of the dissertation, in which a resolution was proposed that would meet the needs of the Coordination of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer (CPIT), the course coordinators and the digital repository of the institutions, thus ensuring novelty, publication, access to scientific production, and the preservation of these publications in the repository.
