DIAZ PEREZ, Maidelyn  and  GONZALEZ PEREZ, Maricela. Proposal of an internal system of intellectual property as an institutional information policy in Cuban universities: A case study: University of Pinar del Río. ACIMED [online]. 2007, vol.15, n.6. ISSN 1024-9435.

In Cuba, despite the creation of a new model of science and innovation, and the outstanding actions taken by the top leadership of the country and the members of the Technological and Scientific Innovation System, the results of the scientific and technological activities are still insufficient, particularly the technological results of the research and development projects (R & D) of the universities seen as boosting activities to refresh the national economy. Also, they face the countless conflicts imposed by the new technological environments on the developing countries, particularly in Latin America. One of the causes is the poor knowledge of students, as well as professors and researchers on such new environments, the industrial property and the technological innovation. Before this situation, a group of information professionals has put forward a proposal by means of a case study for the approval and immediate implementation of a compulsory institutional information policy that will support the incorporation of all necessary knowledge in this topic and will foster the creation of a technological thinking culture needed to start a research work. The suggested internal system of intellectual property for the University of Pinar del Río province as institutional information policy makes, among other benefits, the offering of new technological information services possible.

Keywords : Industrial property; intellectual property; Internet databases of free access patents; information policies.
