HOW PATENTS BECOME DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AT THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION: POINTS OF CONVERGENCE

The disruptive technologies are present as a current theme since the and creation and application of innovations is a source of economic growth (Schumpeter, J.A., 1911; Christensen, C.M, 2000; Rogers, E. M. 2003; Bessant, J.; Tidd, J., 2009; Christensen, Clayton M., Michael Raynor, and Rory McDonald, 2015) for all segments that want to remain competitive. In most educational and research institutions in Brazil, there is an institutional process of encouraging patents, but we do not perceive the same concern with the organization. The purpose of this paper is to raise convergence points between patent filings identified in a public school in Ceará-Brazil over the past ten years through Google patents and the disruptive innovations analyzed by Christensen, Clayton M., Michael Raynor, and Rory McDonald (2015).
