Technological innovation on forensic sciences: a prospective study

Main Article Content
Abstract
Innovation in the area of Forensic Sciences is fundamental not only to assure efficiency and reliability to exams carried out in official criminal expertise sectors but also to pursue the technological development of criminality itself. In view of this, the objective of this work was to evaluate, using technological prospection, the panorama of Intellectual Property in the area of Forensic Sciences in Brazil and abroad. For this, three research platforms were used (INPI, Espacenet, and Orbit Intelligence), combined with two successive approaches (broad research and specific research by area). The prospective study indicated the dominance of the United States and China in the registration of patent documents related to Forensic Sciences. In general, the current technological development in the area of Forensic Sciences is mainly concentrated in areas related to Informatics, Electronics, Chemistry/Biochemistry, and Medicine/Health. At an international level, there was significant participation of official expert bodies in the registration of patentable technologies, although little registration/protection of technologies by criminal experts and/or official Brazilian expert bodies was identified.
