Cláudia Xara-Brasil, industrial property agent and consultant at CCA, talks to Jornal Económico about the fact that Portugal is at the “tail end of Europe” when it comes to producing patents. There are several obstacles to increasing the number of patent registrations. "A low level of culture and recognition by companies of the patent system as a business asset, as well as the poor knowledge of the patent system by the general population, including insufficient promotion in schools and universities".
In the opinion of the CCA’s consultant, in order to change mindsets, "it is essential that some of the success stories that have already occurred with patent sales and licensing be known to the general public so that most people will come to believe that this is possible".
