The practical training course of the postgraduate program Profnit consists  of a stage of 180 hours, which aims to empower students in practical activities, performing specific tasks in the partnerships focal point institutions. Four stages brought relevant contributions to the Technological Innovation Center of Federal University of Santa Catarina in 2019. These motivated the realization of this work addressed to report four cases related to the following topics: patent mapping, technology portfolio, plant breeders’ rights, geographic indication, Innovation Policy, and Confidentiality Policy. The methodological procedures used were technological forecasting, survey, bibliographic and documentary research. The main results were patent mapping, technology portfolio, the proposal of confidentiality and innovation policy, mapping of geographic indications, and plant breeders’ rights. We believe that the report of this experience of success can serve as a reference for other focal points of Profnit, besides being an inspiration for initiatives such as this to be implemented and replicated in public policies involving professional master’s degrees in Brazil.
