Abstract

The present work proposes to explore the implementation and development of innovation policy within the Federal University of Uberlândia, based on the management of contracts involving intellectual property and technology transfer. In this path, we seek to investigate whether the UFU's technological innovation nucleus, named Intellect Agency, is in line with the legal provisions in force, especially the Innovation Law, with the changes promoted by the Legal Framework of Science, Technology and Innovation. For this, important concepts are presented about technology, innovation, intellectual property and technology transfer. Also discussed are the possible modalities of protection of intellectual property, in accordance with Brazilian law. Next, it deals with the subject of contracts of intellectual property and transfer of technology, in which the concept, its main modalities and clauses that are characteristic are presented. Finally, the experience of UFU is reported as a center of production of outstanding intellectual patrimony, presenting data on protection of knowledge produced and contracts in force signed in recent years.
