“…Brazil was not the only country to face sustainable development challenges. Worldwide, biotechnology research in agribusiness has gained notoriety, mainly due to the international presence of the leading industries in rural technology, as evidenced by the number of patents filed in the respective control and protection bodies [17].…”

Agribusiness is the most prominent sector in the Brazilian economy, contributing over the last few years with about 30% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and being responsible for more than 40% of the products exported by the country. During this period, several economic development programs in Brazil were created by the federal government, contemplating the agricultural sector to increase productivity in the field, with actions and intensification of the use of fertilizers, pesticides, creation of agricultural research institutes, training of agronomists, and veterinarians, in addition to facilitating access to credit for rural producers. In this sense, the biotechnology sector great significant greatly influenced the expansion of agricultural production, increasing field efficiency and agricultural production productivity. The objective of this work was to analyze the number of patents in the agribusiness sector to technological development in the biotechnology sector between 1978 and 2018, with data from the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). There is a growing number of patents over the period, as well as an increase in the number of undergraduate and graduate courses in the field of biotechnology in the country since the sector is considered strategic as a source of innovation in science and technology, supporting the country's development, structuring itself to sustain economic growth, with research, science, technology, and innovation.

“…The level of maturity of the SNIs also seems to influence the culture of protection for the IP. In mature NISs, patents are seen as appropriability mechanisms capable of providing competitive asymmetries to companies in the cutting edge of innovation (Ferrari, Silveira & Dal Poz, 2019). However, in the Brazilian case, companies rarely innovate 'in the areas in which they operate and few of them rely on intellectual property protection mechanisms' (Buainain et.…”

“…This assumption raises concerns about the situation in Brazil. Although the country registers relevant scientific production in some areas, rarely the links between research institutions and private companies are strong enough to make a scientific invention reach the market as an innovative product (Dal Poz, 2006;De Negri, 2018).…”

A National Innovation System is an interconnected network of public and private institutions that aims at the development and diffusion of new technologies. We use the Derwent Innovations platform to study the patent applications in Brazil between 2010 and 2020, and to identify the main technological areas that have benefited from the research conducted in the country. Our main methodological contribution is to present indicators that measure the technological importance and international scope of Brazilian patents. The results show that private companies rarely resort to intellectual property protection mechanisms and that public universities are responsible for most patent applications. This study concludes that private companies innovate little, and, as a result, academic research tends to act as a substitute for business investments in research and development, especially in software development, pharmaceutical outputs, and scientific instrumentation. On the other hand, Brazilian universities and companies are both being excluded from the global race for the Internet of Things patents that has characterized the fourth industrial revolution.

“…Therefore, building a patent citation network based on patent citation information can more intuitively present the diffusion, connection, and development of technologies, and also facilitate the understanding of the technological path and related influencing factors in Nordic countries' green industry development, so as to provide some experience and suggestions for developing countries that are backward in green industry development. At present, the academic circles have carried out networked research on technology diffusion and knowledge spillover in many fields [5][6][7], but the research on technology diffusion of green industries in the Nordic region is still relatively scarce. This paper develops a systematic analysis based on this research object, and the contributions are as follows: (1) The patent citation network of the green industry in Nordic countries is constructed, and the evolution characteristics of green industry-related patents in Nordic countries from 1980 to 2019 are analyzed from a dynamic perspective, which enriches the research on green industry.…”

Dealing with the environmental and climate risks caused by global warming has become a global consensus. As a sensitive area with particularly fragile ecological environment, the Nordic countries took the lead in making the commitment of “carbon neutrality” by the middle of this century. The green industry will play an important role during this process. Based on the patent data related to the green industry in Nordic countries, this paper studies the evolution characteristics and dynamic changes of influencing factors of patent citation network from 1980 to 2019 by using the social network analysis method and exponential random graph model. The research results show that: Nordic green technologies have gradually changed from passive development to active innovation from the source, and gradually diversified and subdivided in the development process; the connectivity and transitivity of the patent citation network are good and relatively stable in the evolution process; the connections of Nordic countries with non-Nordic countries are strong and gradually spread to distant regions; the awareness of patent property rights protection has gradually increased, and industry and academia are increasingly integrated, which all promote the formation of patent citation relationship.
