Manuais de propriedade intelectual e de boas práticas de proteção das criações da Ufopa
Abstract
This work had as its main objective the elaboration and availability of the Manuals of
Intellectual Property and of Good Practices of Protection of Creations of Ufopa, which
will be able to serve as instruments of easier and more efficient access to basic
information related to intellectual property and the main conducts that need to be
adopted and shared by members of the UFOPA academic community and its
institutional partners. For this purpose, exploratory and descriptive research was used,
with the use of a quali-quantitative approach and procedures of a bibliographical,
documental and case study nature. Thus, after collecting, organizing, tabulating and
interpreting the results, it was possible to identify and select both the basic information
on intellectual property contained in laws and other scientific and technical publications
and the conduct provided for in Ufopa regulations, which were compared and
integrated with the good practices implemented by UFMG, Unicamp and UFCG and
with the other actions identified in the literature, resulting in the list of basic information
and good practices that were incorporated into the manuals mentioned above. In
addition, it was found: that the institutional culture of Ufopa is still not oriented to the
protection of knowledge and creations with technological and innovation potential; that
the vision, values, PDI and other guiding institutional documents of this entity still do
not act as elements that induce the process of spreading the culture of protection and
appreciation of intellectual property; that the business model adopted by UFOPA still
does not foresee in its processes the protection and management of intellectual
property, innovation, appreciation of high-impact technological production and
technology transfer to society, a fact that can cause obstacles to the implementation
and consolidation of the Intellectual Property and Innovation Policy of this ICT and to
achieve the results envisaged by such institutional policies; that there is a need to
institutionalize and implement the Secrecy and Confidentiality Policy, the Creation
Maintenance and Abandonment Policy, the Conflict of Interests Policy and the Policy
for Sharing Results and Ownership of Creations with Institutional Partners and the
definition of situations in which the patrimonial right over intellectual works produced
by members of the academic community will be owned by Ufopa and/or the author;
and that Ufopa, in order to promote the reconciliation and combination of the culture of
protection of intellectual property and innovation with the institutional culture, needs to
institutionalize and implement strategic educational, communication, incentive and recognition actions, the creation of internal innovation networks and the structuring and
professionalization of the AIT. Finally, it was also noticed that it is necessary for the
construction of the AIT Virtual Platform to be completed and to present well-structured,
optimized and interactive pages and a simple, functional and intuitive navigability,
considering that this electronic portal can be used as the main channel of
communication, guidance and interaction between AIT and its users.
