This document discusses the importance of intellectual property (IP) management in universities and public research organizations. It addresses the challenges universities face in the new knowledge economy. Universities must balance teaching, research, and community involvement. The document also discusses strategies to promote patenting at universities, such as providing incentives and support for researchers and creating technology transfer offices. Establishing scientific and technological parks can help foster collaboration between universities, government and industry.

PATENTING: A LONG AND TORTUROUS
ROAD FOR THE RESEARCHER
 DIFICULT PROCESS
 NO INSTRUMENTS FOR SUPPORTING THE
PROCESS
 THE RESEARCHERS MUST PUBLISH TO STAY IN
THE RESEARCH SYSTEM (PUBLISH OR PERISH)
 LACK OF EXPERIENCE FOR NEGOCIATING WITH
ENTERPRISES
 FEW SUCCESS STORIES TO ECOURAGE
RESEARCHERS
(MANY PATENTS NO MONEY YET)
 NO SPECIALICED STRUCTURE AT THE
UNIVERSITY FOR PATENT PROMOTION
 THE COUNTRY HAS NOT JOINED THE PCT YET
