INDICADORES PARA AVALIAÇÃO DA VISIBILIDADE DAS PATENTES EM UNIVERSIDADES FEDERAIS

Increasingly, universities are contributing to technological development due to the high production of patents. Researchers use indicators related to patent dynamics as a means of evaluating the innovative process in universities, but the instruments until then do not signal their disclosure. In view of the above, this article aims to develop and validate a model to evaluate the visibility of university patents, based on a set of indicators. For this purpose, the model was initially constituted by the preliminary definition of the indicators and their classification according to the scope, in the second stage it was given by the evaluation, through the Fuzzy Delphi method, in order to determine which indicators should remain. After validation, the final model was composed of 14 indicators, categorized into 3 dimensions. It is expected that with the proposed model, the application of the same can contribute to more dissemination of university patents in order to achieve more visibility, as well as expand technology transfers.
