Collection and Processing of Data on Brazilian Technical Production in Engineering Areas

Resumo

The main objective of this article is to present a strategy for the identification and extraction of data
from Brazilian patents from researchers working in the areas of Engineering, such as title, abstract, filing date,
publication date, inventors, owners, among others. Such a strategy will allow the construction of a local database
of the Brazilian technical production of individuals working in the engineering areas, enabling analysis of the large
volume of data in a shorter time, since the analysis will be local and not in online repositories of patents. Therefore,
the proposed solution will allow to minimize several restrictions imposed by online repositories, among them it is
possible to mention the limit in the volume of data access and internet connectivity. In this study, the National
Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and the international patent repository Espacenet, of recognized international
relevance, will be used as the main repositories. The obtained results allow us to verify how this type of production
has evolved over the years, considering the technical production of individuals who work in the various areas of
Engineering.
