Technical Scouting

State of the art and patentability analysis are carried out for inventions developed and identified for any of the different inpactus projects. Subsequent patent filings are prepared and submitted, at Nacional or International and European offices.

Monthly Technological Scouting Newsletters are delivered, where processes, technologies and products developments released by companies, universities and research centers with activities in the Forest, Pulp and Paper and Biorefinery value chains, at national and international level, are disclosed and analyzed. Particular attention is dedicated to the project areas taking place in inpactus, namely on pulp, UWF paper, tissue paper and biorefinery.

Quarterly, an Industrial Property Survey is published, compiling patents published by larger and smaller size research centers, universities and suppliers of chemicals, technologies and equipment, with relevance to the different inpactus projects, namely in the topics of pulp, UWF paper, tissue paper and biorefinery. Different analyzes, considering the jurisdictions chosen for protection and the technological areas representative of the inventions developed, are also made available.

On-demand Technological Scouting Reports are issued supporting the inpactus projects, by providing information on relevant specific technologies, products and processes.
