FAPESP Support of Intellectual Property Rights and Licensing (PAPI/NUPLITEC) aims to guide and help researchers defend intellectual property of inventions resulting from research financed by FAPESP. The projects are developed under the responsibility of a Principal Investigator, associated with higher education or research institutions in the State of São Paulo. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system.
The Ordinance PR N.65 (June 08, 2021) defines new assignments to FAPESP's Technology Patenting and Licensing Center (Nuplitec) and closes the Intellectual Property Support Program (PAPI).
