Abstract

In a scenario where intellectual property strengthens business relationships affected by endogenous and exogenous factors, that is, provoked by the need to adapt to the fourth industrial revolution or digital age, the debate on economic development through patents is fundamental in order to maximize its positive effects. This study analyzes the correlation between patent filing and the economic situation in Tocantins - TO. The methodology adopted is through research: explanatory, descriptive and bibliographic. While the world is betting on technological solutions by filing its patents, including in Brazil, the TO is far behind in the national ranking when compared to other states as shown in table 9. It is essential for the TO, to create a culture of innovation with the union of the members of the quintuple helix according to figure 8: government, business, university, society and the ecosystem to generate innovation and development in the economy through patents. The existence of a strong relationship between patent deposits and economic development can be concluded with the argument in Graph 25 and Table 4. It is suggested that the priority status on two main fronts: generation of capacity building in industrial property through deposits of patents materializing the temporary monopoly, and finally, robust public and private investment in innovation, improving the meager rates of Brazil and Tocantins shown in the national strategy as shown in Table 2 and Figure 12.
