As technology advances companies are required to keep up with the revolutions that follow. Artificial intelligence allows productive processes to be maximized through automation but it imposes attention and enhancement of intellectual property management. In this context the present work aims to analyze a software license agreement, signed between a sugar-energy plant and a software supplier, that promotes artificial intelligence in an industrial plant to identify its suitability to the intellectual property aspects. This research is arranged as exploratory and descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data was acquired from documents and field research carried out in a sugar-energy plant in the State of Paraná. The results show that the hiring process lacks fundamentals about the management of intellectual property as well as a legal basis and certainty which requires the plant to pay more attention to the legal foundations inherent to intellectual property.
