This paper seeks to investigate whether Brazilian public policies to encourage public-private partnerships for patent development through the CT-Petro Sector Fund were effective. This fund was created with the objective of developing the Brazilian petrochemical industry after the breach of the Petrobras monopoly in the late 1990s. Until that time, this state company developed all research in this sector. The structure of this article begins with the bibliographic survey of the agents involved in this production chain and how they organized to maintain the productive level of R&D. Finding out about the transfer of funds through FINEP public notices, researchers and companies were attracted and encouraged to create products and services. Whether competition between companies has resulted in improvements to the development of patents for the industry in question. Aiming to demonstrate the interest of the state in transferring its former predominant role to agents Companies and Universities (and/or Research Centers).
This article presents the patent filing profile of the participants of CT-Petro edicts. The release of the notices and analysis of projects are in charge of FINEP, the period analyzed will be from 1998 to 2018. Since this is the oil and natural gas production chain, the general objective of the referred work is to verify if the IPC - International Patent Classification C10, was present in the deposits of the participants. As well as, among the CPI codes, the nomenclature with the highest frequency of presentation. For the robustness of the work, the historical contextualization and definition of patents, Patentiometry and the International Patent Classification - IPC, adopted by the National Institute of Industrial Property - INPI, were performed. The literature review highlights the importance given to patents for technological and economic development. The methodology applied has a qualitative and quantitative character, the sample studied are the institutions that had projects approved by FINEP. In short, the article seeks to outline the profile of patents developed in the participating institutions and whether this profile will reflect positive results for CT-Petro.
