Technological entrepreneurship is the combination of technology with the market to meet in advance to the wants and needs of customers by ensuring that adequate resources are allocated for the development and launch of products and services. The technology-based companies, in turn, have particularities in relation to traditional business sectors and therefore the importance of its dialogue with technology parks and business incubators. Such interaction is ideal because the entrepreneur of technology-based companies face an additional challenge, in relation to the others, to turn ideas into production, from researcher to entrepreneur. The Technological Park Foundation of Paraíba (PaqTcPB) through the Technology Incubator of Campina Grande (ITCG), 30 years ago, supports this type of company in the state of Paraíba, encouraging technology transfer , fostering the creation of new technology-based firms, approaching the world of Science, Technology and Innovation of the business world. It is important, also, the diffusion of the culture of protection and management of Intellectual Property (IP) for the consolidation of corporate strategies that exploit the intangible assets of such enterprise, turning assets into securable assets to company. In order to diagnose the IP management strategies used by companies related to ITCG, a questionnaire with objective and semi-structured open-ended questions, a set of companies in the database ITCG between incubated, graduates, associates was applied, or firms receiving a program to encourage the innovative entrepreneurship. Subjecting the data to a quantitative and qualitative analysis, traced the profile of these companies, 80% of them working in the TIC technology sector and up to six years of existence. Although 87% of companies having entrepreneurs with graduate degrees, masters in their majority, more than half of the group says its main product is not derived from the result of R&D in universities. A total of 87% of companies consider their innovative product in the market, and 67% believe the product to be protectable, however, 87% of companies do not adopt any policy of acquisition, exploration and/or monitoring of IP assets. Of the respondents, only 33% have IP assets protected, but 60% have used a service provided by the INPI, with 20% of employee offices patent offices abroad. Just over half, 53%, claimed to have received some kind of training on ITCG PI, 73% consider it very important to protect IP assets and 47% find it very important to participate in the Incubator guidance on the topic to the company. Among the main difficulties listed in IP management are problems in defining what is protectable, the high cost of specialized services and bureaucracy and delay in analysis applications. As these companies are in the process of consolidation in negotiating world, it is crucial guidance and advice, permanently, by the ITCG to issues related to IP. Shares an educational basis, such as courses, lectures, or training to guide companies on how to identify their intangible assets, protect them and exploit them, are essential. However, stands as essential to providing a constant counseling, with specialized personnel to try to assist in resolving practical issues faced by the company, both in IP protection, as in the generation of resources from these assets.
