SUMMARY:

This paper proposes a study on the level of knowledge of Brazilian inventors about the
start of the patentability process by developing a tool to assess the inventor's
knowledge level on the proposed subject. To achieve this purpose, this tool seeks to
identify the user's prior knowledge about the patenting process through questions with
multiple questions inferring a preliminary diagnosis, which will allow a direction for the
information pertinent to their preliminary knowledge. The patent, as a very important
temporary ownership title of an invention, adds prestige and value to the invention;
however, if not conducted accurately, it may lead to failure, with economic losses.
Considering this situation, the following research question was created: “How to
identify the degree of prior knowledge of inventors about the patentability process?
Thus, the general objective of the work is "To propose a tool to identify the level of
knowledge of the inventor in relation to the patentability process, through a tool of
knowledge level classification". To this end, the methodological approach used has a
qualitative exploratory character and is based on the Design Science Research (DSR)
research method. To make the study viable, primary data were collected by means of
exploratory interviews, followed by secondary data, obtained from the literature review
and from research on tools that provide knowledge about the patentability process, in
order to understand the relevance of the theme and search for possible prior art. The
data will subsidize the proposal of the tool, which will have analytical and instructive
purposes, aiming to cooperate with multiple actors, providing the dissemination of
knowledge for use in the field of industrial property. It is expected, as a result, to
encourage innovation through a technological product that instructs and enables the
understanding of the patentability process, from the identification of the user's level of
prior knowledge on the subject. In general terms, it is intended that the product be able
to add knowledge, so that the inventor, independently, can take the first steps towards
its final purpose, the patenting of the invention
