Abstract
Public Research Institutes (PRI) in Brazil have played a considerable role in the development of the country given the design and creation of specific usable knowledge in their areas. To this process is important the knowledge’s systematization created through patents, since it allows that the ‘best’ knowledge is practically implemented and what benefits are obtained for such institutions and for the country. Through the survey of patent applications, this paper demonstrates the technological development promoted by PRI. Based on deposits of patents in Thomson Innovation data, is performed a quantitative approach, from the collection of secondary data, based on frequency analysis, regression and chi-square test. We conducted a survey of patent deposits by PRI from 2004 to 2013, proving the joint and individual technological development, the most frequente types of partners promoters of deposits. Thus, we propose a presentation and signaling technological development of PRI by production of patente deposits and this becomes the basis for further analysis
