The IV ProspeCT & I (2014) was held in association with ENAPID, due to the fact that this year there were international events in the country, such as the World Cup, which caused difficulties regarding the place available, dates, holidays related to the Games, among others. In addition, INPI was undergoing an exchange of President and with a strong budget constraint. ProspeCT & I aimed to increase its capillarization in the national territory. Therefore, with the expectation of creating synergy between complementary events, the INPI Academy, in partnership with the NIT-NE Network, decided to hold the events together.

The inauguration of the INPI’s new President took place during the event, in Rio de Janeiro, with 268 registered participants and 94 participating organizations, with 55 papers presented.

The VI ProspeCT & I (2016) was held in association with ENAPID, due to the INPI being still under a severe budget constraint and having been considered important to maintain the synergy between events.
