Abstract

This paper discusses the process of technological globalization, with particular attention to the case of the Brazilian polymer industry. The instruments used in the study were a data base built with all the patent applications made in Brazil between 1985 and 1995 and interviews with executives who work in the area of technology in firms of the polymer industry. The analysis of the data base revealed that multinational firms patent their inventions regularly as an extension of their R&D activities. On the other hand, the depots by Brazilian applicants are made in a random manner that shows signs of sporadic behavior and a lack of interest in legal protection for the results of the research. The main conclusion of this study suggests that there is no process of technological globalization in this industry.
