This research sought to analyze the quantitative, qualitative and financial results of using the Preliminary Opinion service of the National Institute of Industrial property, in the patent filing flow at the University Federal do Paraná - UFPR. This is a case study, consisting of four steps: the first three steps related to data collection from documentary sources awarded by UFPR, and a fourth stage focused on data analysis. A quantitative analysis showed that more than half of the patent applications with Reject bias, 56%, were abandoned, reducing portfolio swelling. A financial analysis estimated savings of BRL 84,000.88 in fees from the INPI, between the years 2018 and 2022. Finally, the qualitative analysis showed that the defenses filed based on the guidelines of the Opinion Reports Preliminary, the majority did not improve the wording of the requests to the point of bring them closer to a possible granting of a patent, showing that the INPI tends to stick to the content of the preliminary exam. As for how the flow works, between the three filtering steps – Notification to Inventor, Board of Ownership Intellectual, and Direction of the NIT - there was resistance from the Property Board Intellectual to issue negative opinions. In view of the results, it is suggested to continuity of activities with the restructuring of the Council's filtering stage of Intellectual Property, and with the adoption of other tools for reviewing patent writing.
