Artigo Completo:

Nas últimas décadas houve uma forte expansão da quantidade de patentes com o aumento também da quantidade de relações novas entre campos tecnológicos diferentes, ainda assim vários estudos apontam para a estabilidade da estrutura do conhecimento tecnológico. Ao emergir, os paradigmas tecnológicos criam oportunidades de pesquisa, de avanço do conhecimento tecnológico e levam a uma maior integração entre campos tecnológicos distintos. A estrutura do conhecimento tecnológico se torna mais complexa através da integração dos seus distintos componentes e cria limites às direções de pesquisa e de acumulação. Os objetivos deste trabalho são comparar a estrutura de um mapa de patentes global em períodos distintos no tempo, identificar os seus principais componentes e averiguar se a estabilidade é uma característica intrínseca a essa estrutura. A análise das redes formadas pelas patentes em 1988, 1998 e 2008 e dos agrupamentos dos campos tecnológicos mostrou que a estrutura do conhecimento tecnológico geral não se manteve estável ao longo do tempo. Os resultados também mostraram que um núcleo constituído por relações entre campos tecnológicos se tornou relativamente mais importante ao longo do tempo.

In the last decades there has been a strong expansion of the number of patents with an increase in the number of new relations between different technological fields, yet several studies point to the stability of the technological knowledge structure. When emerging, technological paradigms create opportunities for research, advancement of technological knowledge and lead to greater integration between different technological fields. The structure of technological knowledge becomes more complex through the integration of its distinct components and creates limits to the directions of research and accumulation. The objectives of this work are to compare the structure of a global patent map at different time periods, to identify its main components and to investigate whether stability is an intrinsic characteristic of this structure. The analysis of networks formed by patents in 1988, 1998 and 2008 and of the clusters of technological fields showed that the structure of general technological knowledge has not remained stable over time. The results also showed that a core composed of relations between technological fields became relatively more important over time.
