Abstract
PurposeTo create a question and answer tool on patents on EMHO. Methods Was used the Thinking Design methodology divided into four phases: Discovery, Definition, Development and Delivery. Discovery Phase: Desk research was carried out in: SciELO, Pubmed, LILACS, Google and Google Scholar. Once the target audience was selected, the interviews were conducted. Definition Phase: the interviewees’ difficulties were mapped, on an Excel spreadsheet. Development Phase: a brainstorming was conducted with the public interviewed. Delivery Phase: the prototype, validation and final elaboration of the tool were made. Results Discovery Phase: 10 inventors were identified and the interviews were carried out. Definition Phase: 80% of the interviewees determined lack of information as one of the problems. The main content was defined as: the patent process, from the beginning of the idea to the deposit (70%), search for precedence (40%) and informing partners (30%). Development Phase: with the brainstorming, the tool type was defined as an interactive site. Delivery Phase: a prototype with content framework and an interactive video was presented for validation. After approval, the interactive website was developed, which was made available to the public. ConclusionA question and answer tool on patents in EMHO was developed.

Summary
Intellectual Property (IP) is the area of law that seeks to protect the creations of the human mind. It is a legal construction that comes from the right of ownership, to give exclusivity of use to the market of the intellectually-created assets[1]. IP is divided into three parts: Copyright, Industrial Property and Sui Generis Protection[2]. With regard to industrial property, we can mention patents, which are documents that aim at protecting an invention for a determined period of time[3]. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization[4] the patent is a right granted to an invention, which usually provides a new way of doing something or a new technical solution to a problem. In order to obtain a patent, technical information on the invention is required and must be made publicly available under a specific request
