PROSPECÇÃO DE PATENTES E TENDÊNCIAS TECNOLÓGICAS EM AERONAVES NÃO TRIPULADAS DE RECONHECIMENTO, OBSERVAÇÃO E COMBATE
Resumo
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar as redes de colaboração tecnológicas associadas aos processos de patenteamento de Veículos Aéreos Não Tripulados (VANTs). Nesse intuito, aplicaram-se técnicas de prospecção tecnológica a um conjunto de dados do escritório de patentes dos Estados Unidos da América (USPTO). Inicialmente, foi feita uma análise quantitativa descritiva sobre as patentes de VANTs. Em seguida, selecionou-se o subgrupo de patentes de VANTs com aplicação militar de reconhecimento, observação e combate. Foi aplicado um método para verificar a semelhança entre pares de documentos de patentes, acoplamento bibliográfico, bem como técnicas de medida de aproximação entre esses pares, similaridade por cosseno. Alguns resultados mostraram-se promissores. Foram identificadas, por exemplo, as empresas com mais aplicações publicadas no setor. De igual modo, foram evidenciadas as patentes que apresentavam o maior potencial inovativo, dentre as mais relevantes, conforme o critério de quantidade de citações.

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the technological collaboration networks associated with the patenting processes of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. In this sense, technological prospecting techniques were applied to a set of data from the USPTO patent office. Initially, a descriptive quantitative analysis of UAV patents was performed. Then, the subgroup of patents of UAVs with military application of reconnaissance, observation and combat was selected. A method was applied to verify the similarity between pairs of patent documents, bibliographic coupling, and approximation measurement techniques between these pairs, cosine similarity. Some results showed promise. For example, the companies with the most applications published in the sector were identified. Likewise, the patents that had the greatest innovative potential were highlighted, among the mostrelevant, according to the criterion of number of citations.
