Based on this scenario of fragility of the Brazilian industry, a research in database of patent documents, using as methodology, a search strategy, according to the International Patent Classification (IPC) was done. This survey, based on the analysis of the patent documents obtained, allowed us to reach the objective of the study, which is to introduce the situation of the national pharmaceutical industries in relation to investment in innovation. The results indicate the lack of investments in innovation in Brazil, allowing the conclusion that the country is totally dependent on the imports of medicines. This fact positions the multinational industries in a situation of superiority, facilitating the practice of abusive prices, since these take advantage of the patent protection.}, number={2}, journal={Revista Produção e Desenvolvimento}, author={Pontes, Carlos Eduardo Collazo}, year={2017}, month={Aug.}, pages={38–51} }
