Abstract

Universities have been paying increasing attention to the importance of protecting and managing their intellectual property. Although these institutions strive to protect solutions with great market potential, most patent applications are not licensed, generating significant maintenance and management costs. In this context, the objective was to comparatively analyze the criteria used by public universities for abandoning patents and unlicensed patent applications, aiming to retain in their portfolios only inventions with high licensing potential and to use available public resources more efficiently. No consolidated methodology was found in Brazilian universities in this regard. Ongoing evaluations conducted by institutions abroad revealed the active participation of inventors and the autonomy of the department responsible for managing intellectual property in deciding whether to maintain or abandon protection.
