This aim will be achieved by means of the following strategic actions: • Incentives for creating associations of innovators which will be able to watch over the interests of their members; • Introducing structures and mechanisms to support local innovators in the acquisition, protection, management and marketing of intellectual property rights; • Training and information activities for innovators on the strategic importance of intellectual property in promoting creativity; • Setting up financing systems for local innovators to enable them to develop their ideas; • Introducing mechanisms for linking with the production sector to develop prototypes and test and implement the products of innovation; • Incentives for creating circles of interest at the local level, which will provide working conditions (with their own tools) and pool expertise in such a way as to promote innovative capacity and the transfer of knowledge to the younger generation; • Fairs, exhibitions and prizes for local innovators prioritizing simple solutions that solve the problems faced by local communities. 6.3.6. Giving incentives for using patent information and technological information services Eighty per cent of the technological information in circulation in the world can be obtained by consulting patent databases: the fact is, the exclusive right to use a patent and exploit it economically does not prevent third parties – once they have received due authorization from the owner – to access the patent and benefit from it. It should also be borne in mind that many patents fall into the public domain through the lapsing of their protection. These patents, however, still contain useful technology and can be exploited without the need to apply for any kind of authorization from their owner. Consulting the innumerable patent databases and strategically using the information obtained from them can produce technology that is useful for driving forward research in the institutions devoted to this, and in Mozambican enterprises. Furthermore, technological solutions suitable for solving local problems may be developed, based on the technology produced by these patents.
