Abstract

O Denver Research Institute - DRI - iniciou, em fins de 1975, com o Pakistan Council for Scientific and Industrial Research — PCSIR — uma experiência no uso de informação sobre patentes existentes nos arquivos dos Estados Unidos. Foi selecionado um item especifico de equipamento, bastante difundido no Paquistão, e para o qual havia inúmeras patentes nos arquivos americanos. Oobjetivo seria possibilitar ao PCSIR um plano geral de informação que lhe permitiria planejar ou adaptar seus próprios equipamentos. Uma firma legal especializada foi contratada a fim de proceder à busca de patentes e o PCSIR pode, então, definir e focalizar seus interesses, bem como desenvolver critérios que permitiram a seus cientistas selecionar patentes mais relevantes. Os resultados até hoje são positivos e o DRI continuará a trabalhar com o PCSIR acompanhando a experiência com o objetivo de saber se e como a informação sobre patentes poderá ser utilizada pelos países em desenvolvimento.

Abstract

The Denver Research Institute — DRI — initiated with the Pakistan Council for Scientific and Industrial Research — PCSIR — an experiment in the use of patent information contained in the U.S. patent files. On especific item of equipment selected was in widespreaduse in Pakistan; a large number of patents on this item existed in the U.S. files. The purpose was to provide general design information that would raise PCSIR's ability to design or adapt their own equipment. A professional law firm was identified to do the patent search. PCSIR was able to define and focus its interests and to develop criteria based on them. These criteria enable the PCSIR scientists to select those patentswhich were likely to be of most them. Results to dateare positive and DRI will continue to work with PCSIR,to follow up the experiment and attempt to learn if andhow patent information might be used in developing countries. (HB)
