professional master’s program; technological innovation; technical and technological products; institutional systematization.
This research aimed to systematize the technical and technological outputs produced by the professional postgraduate programs at the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), for cataloging purposes and identification of potential for intellectual property protection or public dissemination. The motivation arose from the lack of standardized institutional mechanisms for intellectual property (IP) management at the university, which limits the visibility and protection of the produced assets. The methodology used was Design Science Research (DSR), whose stages included problem identification, objective definition, development and application of a digital artifact, evaluation, and communication of results. The study systematized 508 technical and technological productions linked to the stricto sensu postgraduate programs between 2015 and 2024, with 208 originating from the Sinop campus. The productions were organized in a structured database containing information on authorship, date, title, abstract, keywords, category, subtype, and possibility of intellectual property protection. The classification followed previously defined frameworks, considering the applicable legal regime, duration of protection, responsible agencies, and links to documentation. The results include the structured registration of the productions, organization of information for protection requests, and support for institutional actions related to IP. Additionally, a guide was developed with instructions for completing the proposed form for future registrations.
