This study aimed to analyze the production and technological collaboration of biotechnology in Brazil through the patent documents granted by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). Data analysis took place using the indicators of measures of technological activity and Social Network Analysis (SNA). The general panorama of biotechnological production, between 1982 and 2016, showed that the majority of patents (90%) are owned by non-residents, with emphasis on private companies. The main holder of biotechnologies in the country is the United States with 35.4% of the documents granted. SNA pointed to a weak technological collaboration between patent holders in biotechnology. The study showed that the public and private sectors have been responding to the demands presented by the Biotechnology Development Policy, but it is still necessary to strengthen the policies and actions already defined to improve the Brazilian bio industry. Among the indispensable actions is the dissemination of the culture of intellectual property about the protection of biotechnology for public institutions and the business sector.
