DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PATENTE DE DISPOSITIVO FOTOESTIMULATÓRIO PARA O TRATAMENTO DE LESÕES MAMÁRIAS

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Introduction: It is fundamental, both for the development of the University and society, that undergraduate and graduate students use academic knowledge for the development of innovation. When these researches generate a product composed of some additional characteristics, such as belonging to a technology-oriented sector, being shown as a novelty, representing a really innovative process and having practical utility, the product can be patented, being initially deposited in an intellectual property bank. The present work intends to describe the process of device idealization, starting from the team's problem survey and brainstorm until the patent filing at AGINOVA, focusing on the role of the university as an innovation propeller. Objective: The objective of this work was to develop competencies for the creation of the patent, considering the production of innovation and the social impact as the core of the university. Methodology: The patent development process started from team brainstorm, focusing on the problem of breast fissures and the neglected demands in the treatment. Results: The result was the preparation of a patent filing document "LED photostimulation treatment device in breast lesions", designed by the research team. Conclusion: The creation of new patents through the institution generates stimulus to teachers and students because it enables innovation in the area to be studied, optimizing the work of professionals in several ways, opening the range of options to reach the desired result, and strengthening the social impact of the university and its relevance in the scientific scene.
