English abstract

Information is an essential resource to the functioning and survival of organizations. In order for organizations to compete in a global environment, with rapid changes, where they move nowadays, they need to obtain information that’ll allow them to innovate and acquire competitive advantages in the markets they operate in. Scientific and technical information associated to Industrial Property – Patent Information - can provide further competitiveness through the transfer of technology that it motivates and is of vital economic importance due to the innovation that it stimulates. After analysing several Indicators, National and International Studies, we realized that Portugal is not using the resources of the Industrial Property’s records in a satisfactory way, not taking advantage of its benefits. The data published shows that university research centres are not living up to their full potential when it comes to using this type of information since it could, when due integrated into research projects, motivate innovation, provide competitive advantages, and increase the number of IP records. This could lead to an increase of the number of new companies and to economic growth. We support that a coherent and effective use of Patent Digital Libraries that contain information resulting from R&D activities with industrial applications can contribute to the increase of creativity and support problem- solving in research, developing innovation through the resulting new products and processes. This research attempts to answer the question about the relationship between the degree of knowledge and level of usage of Patent Digital Libraries by research centres in Portugal and their contribution to the innovation process. The hypothesis to validate is that University Research Centres that know and use the information in the PDL are more innovative since they contribute with more patents and they generate more new products and processes, giving birth to more spin-offs with industrial applications.

Portuguese abstract

A Informação é um recurso indispensável ao funcionamento e sobrevivência das organizações. Para que as organizações possam competir no ambiente global, de rápidas mudanças, onde se inserem, necessitam de obter informação que lhes permita inovar e adquirir vantagens competitivas nos mercados em que actuam. A informação associada à Propriedade Industrial, designada por Informação de Patentes, proporciona uma crescente competitividade através da transferência de tecnologia que motiva e revela-se de extrema importância económica pela inovação que incentiva. Após a análise de vários Indicadores e de Estudos Nacionais e Internacionais, constata-se que Portugal não está a utilizar satisfatoriamente os recursos dos registos de Propriedade Industrial, não retirando daí as vantagens que lhe poderia propiciar. Os dados publicados indiciam que os Centros de investigação universitários não estão a rentabilizar as suas potencialidades no que respeita à utilização deste tipo de informação que poderia, se devidamente integrado nos projectos de investigação, motivar mais Inovação, mais vantagem competitiva e, também, maior número de registos de PI, originando mais empresas e maior crescimento económico. Sustenta-se que uma utilização coerente e efectiva das Bibliotecas Digitais de Patentes, contendo informação resultante das actividades de I&D com aplicação industrial, pode contribuir para o aumento da criatividade e suporte na resolução de problemas de investigação, potenciando a inovação através de novos produtos e processos daí decorrentes. O presente trabalho procura responder à questão sobre a relação entre o grau de conhecimento e nível de utilização das bibliotecas digitais de patentes pelos centros de investigação em Portugal e o seu contributo para o processo de inovação. A hipótese de trabalho que procuraremos validar é de que os Centros de Investigação Universitários que conhecem e utilizam mais a Informação constante nas BDP são mais inovadores, patenteiam mais invenções, geram mais produtos e processos novos, originando mais ‘spin-offs’ para a sua aplicação industrial.
