Ratio P.ProdPublProj:P.ProdProj |

Project engagement pattern Diagnosis |
patent/R&D project ratio |
Premise: the patent/R&D project ratio must be smaller than one (1) to be logic |
Indication of investment in registering purely academic patents |
JOPatent_ProjProdS; P.MDiscPatent |
|
Significant amount of patents with low commercialization potential |
C2 profile x Expected profile: generation of patents, with emphasis to multidisciplinary patents |
Patent registration data - in Brazil |
Apparently a benchmark group in the institution |
Premise of Relevance of Multidisciplinarity for TT efficiency
|
Composition of C1 & Comparison of C1 and C2 profiles: expected to be included in the cluster 2: Food Science and Technology and Veterinary Medicine - low patent generation |
Patent registration data - new technologies are developed in this knowledge area in a global context |
These productive sectors are not demanding new technological knowledge? or the academic units are less inclined to interact with the productive sector? |
TTOs experience and perception regarding local reality |
Insufficient multidisciplinarity – especially with biotechnology department |
C3 profile analysis & Comparison with expected profile: Lifesciences, engineering, physics, chemistry, and pharmacy – high patent generation |
National Patent registration data - Pharmaceuticals, Organic Fine Chemistry and Basic Materials Chemistry are the most significant technology areas |
Patent registering stimuli is making results |
C3 profile analysis x expected profile: Lower amount of conjoint patent ownership with productive sector of the Engineering; R&D projects with community are slightly lower than C5 |

- research in engineering more directly applicable to firms than is the case in other disciplines; less pharmaceutical and biotech companies in Brazil than engineering companies |
Low applicability of conducted R&D projects? low interest of local industry for technological innovation? or low conscience of local industries about the university as a source of knowledge or technology? |
C3 profile, Isolated P.ProdPublProj: P.ProdProj ratio graph (Figure 2): interaction with the productive sector is low if the public sector is absent. |
|
Public policy is acting to stimulate TT process. The long-term policies and strategies must deal about the evolution of a relation more autonomous, that occur even without public incentive |
Composition of C3 & Comparison of C3 and C2 profiles: It was expected a more multidisciplinary behavior the following academic units |
|
The applied nature of the Engineering and Pharmacy academic units are inducing a sense of self-efficiency? |
C4 profile and composition x expected profile: Dentistry - inexpressive number of registered patents; extension activities to provide services to the community |
applied nature of knowledge produced by Dentistry course would be expected to generate research fields useful for development of dental products that could be patented |
Lower culture for technological transference, with emphasis on extension activities to deliver established techniques for the community. Claims for managerial attention. |
C5 composition and profile x Expected patent generation amount: low patent generation of informatics and Hydraulic Research Institute |
Patent registration data – higher patent registration Digital Communication, Computer technology, Semiconductors, IT Methods for management); Civil Engineering |
Low tendency to protect IP, even with high innovativeness? Or Low innovativeness? |
C5 composition and profile x expected profile Isolated P.ProdPublProj: P.ProdProj ratio graph (Figure 2): interaction with the productive sector is low if the public sector is absent. |
Project short description (public departments, such as Sanitation and Energy, and public institutions are main partners) |
Public policy is acting to stimulate TT process. The long-term policies and strategies must deal about the evolution of a relation more autonomous, that occur even without public incentive |
