Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze national and state of Minas Gerais public policies aimed at Science, Technology and Innovation (CT&I), as well as their impacts on the generation of patents. For this, a qualitative, descriptive and longitudinal research was carried out, covering the period from 2000 to 2018. The results show that Brazil needs to improve its position in the ranking of the Global Innovation Index; national expenditures are below the target set in the National Science and Technology Strategy; business expenditures represent a smaller share of investments made; there is an expressive participation of States in the provision of public resources for ST&I, although it does not occur equally. The state of Minas Gerais gradually increased investment in the area over the period analyzed, standing out in relation to the others with regard to spending on R&D and filing of patents with the INPI. Keywords: Brazil; patent management; state of Minas Gerais; public policy.
