Abstract
Innovation is been considered as essential to the technological and economic growth and for a new level of sustainable development in Brazil. The knowledge generation is the fundamental gap at the universities to support innovation processes through scien-tific inventions and new research. However, we perceive a gap between knowledge gen-eration and innovation, particularly in Brazil. The world production of scientific papers has been growing since the end of last century, but the proportional growth rates that demonstrate innovation, such as the registration of patents, are being disregarded. This article presents a technology development case from a research focused on the design of a product, from its conception as part of an engineering undergraduate work until their preparation for technology transfer from the University. The aim of this article is to demonstrate through this case how the knowledge generated can be transformed into technology and prepared for implementation aimed at solving real problems. We present the main stages of the product development, from its conception to the engineering solu-tion, as well as the market research and patents for the development of technical solu-tion, going to the description of the preparation process to go to the market, through the structure of technology transfer of the University. The result shows the methodology of an innovation development since its inception until the implementation of the patent on the market.
