MALDONADO CARBAJAL, Karina; GUZMAN, Alenka e PEREDO, Felipe de Jesús. Women inventors in Brazil, 1997-2013. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2015, n.spe3, pp.53-81. ISSN 2448-7481.
This paper analyzes the nature and the dynamics of women inventors in the case of Brazil from 1997 to 2013 taking into account the Brazilian patents granted by USPTO. It also proposes a multifactorial model to explain the propensity of Brazilian women to invent. It was found that women participation in inventive activity is still reduced but is growing. The patents where at least there is a woman inventor have a more dynamic growth than the whole patents. They are characterized by the collaboration with men inventors and they are located mainly in the technological fields of chemical and drugs and medical. According to our own estimations the propensity of Brazilian women to invent is associated to the research and development expenditure of this country, the patents granted to Brazilian firms, the higher size of The inventors' teams and finally, the links between the technological and academic scopes.
Palavras-chave : Brazil; patents; women inventors; propensity of women to innovate.
