Innovation and Technology Applied To Paralympic Sports
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Over time the sport has been presenting to society the best athletes in the most varied sports modalities. Technological innovations play an important role in the context of adapted and Paralympic sports. The objective of this research is to map the technological innovations protected by Intellectual Property aimed at Paralympic sports. Three searches were conducted in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) database to identify patents granted and deposited. For this, the expressions "Bicycle chair", "sports Wheelchair" and "handcycle" were used as search terms. The results showed an increase in the number of patent applications between 2015 and 2018, with the United States and China being the countries with the highest number of deposits. A more effective participation of independent inventors and companies in relation to patent applications was perceived, to the detriment of the low participation of universities in the production of assistive technologies.
