Academic spin-offs; entrepreneurial researcher; entrepreneurial university; knowledge commercialization; technology transfer.
This work aims to develop a proposal for the process of creation and development of academic spin-off companies constituted based on the intellectual property owned by ICTs. The target audience for the research is ICTs and researchers linked to the following institutions: UFMG, UFRGS, PUCRS, UNISINOS, UFSM, UFPel and FURG. The methodological procedures used are characterized as semi-structured interviews, document analysis, legal design and visual law, carried out with a qualitative approach. The theoretical framework was based on authors who are experts in the models and stages of the process for the creation and development of academic spin-offs, such as Ndonzuau et al. (2002) and Oliveira (2015).
