The study investigates the presence of women in Brazilian priority patent filings in Artificial Intelligence. It is a patentometric study, collecting data from the database of the National Institute of Industrial Property. The objective is to characterize the patents in terms of date, classification area, applicants, and inventors, also observing collaboration and the themes of the patents. The data shows that the first deposits began in 2002, with the majority of patents filed from 2016 onwards. The patents are mostly classified in the field of Physics. The largest applicants are Higher Education Institutions, followed by private companies, individuals, and public enterprises. There is a low participation of women as applicants and inventors. There is significant collaboration among inventors, however, there is weak collaboration in patents solely invented by women. The themes of the patents are relevant, applying Artificial Intelligence mainly in the fields of health, agriculture, and transportation.
