SUMMARY:

Pricing patents for inventions implemented by computer programs involves estimating development costs, technical complexity, and market potential. Among the existing techniques for software pricing, Function Point Analysis (FPA) is one of the best known in the industry, which measures the functionality and complexity of software to correlate with its potential economic value. This type of assessment is essential for strategic decisions in licensing and management of intellectual property assets. This project has as its central question: How can Function Point Analysis support the valuation of patents for inventions implemented by computer programs? The main objective of the study is to develop a pricing guide based on FPA for patents for inventions implemented by computer programs. The methodology has a qualitative approach, exploratory in relation to the objectives and with an applied nature. The development of the research occurred in three stages: bibliographical survey; construction of a pricing model that correlates technical functionalities described in the patent claims with function points; and application of the model in a Brazilian ICT, with the evaluation through interviews with experts in innovation and intellectual property. As a result, this study proposes a guide based on the APF that provides a price estimate for invention patents implemented in computer programs. The guide will correlate patent claims with the complexity of computer programs in order to assist in strategic decision-making and in licensing processes, technology transfer and negotiation of intangible assets.
