Abstract

The Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) has been working in patent filing since 2011, with the creation of its Office of Technological Innovation (OTI). In 2018, after creating its patent portfolio, it was challenged by the Technology Transfer (TT) phase. It was then realized that it would be necessary to analyze all the internal and external conditions of the academic institution, considering the weaknesses and strengths. Thus, the objective of this paper would be to propose strategic actions that favored TT. Therefore, we used an exploratory, explanatory, descriptive and bibliographic research methodology that included, besides the bibliographic survey and the research in the patent database of INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property), a technical visit to the UFT OTI where It was possible to describe the available physical and normative structure, the bureaucratic procedures and its predisposition to new strategic actions. The main conclusions were that improvements would need to be made to encourage the development and design of new technologies more suited to market needs, improve the patent drafting system, improve the patent filing process, step up and support actions. characterized with regard to activities related to a model closer to what would be a Technology Innovation and Dissemination Agency and, finally, the need for the construction of a more robust strategic planning aiming at favoring Technology Transfer.
