In competitive markets, industrial design is an extremely relevant type of intellectual property for sectors such as carpentry. However, the question arises about how much the managers of this economic category know about this type of protection. Given the above, this article aimed to verify the level of knowledge of micro-entrepreneurs in the carpentry sector in the Metropolitan Region of Belém on intellectual property and in particular on industrial design. For this, a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative focus was carried out, in which it was possible to count on 10 respondents out of a possible 24. The research made it possible to observe that among those surveyed, about 80% are unaware of the topic. Thus, there is a need to insert knowledge on the subject among micro-entrepreneurs in the sector in order to disseminate the theme and sensitize them to the importance of protecting the creations generated.
