Resumo

Desde a descoberta da radiação ionizante, ela tem sido usada em diferentes aplicações e materiais e métodos foram desenvolvidos para medir e quantificar as doses de radiação. A Termoluminescência (TL) e a Luminescência Opticamente Estimulada (OSL) são duas técnicas utilizadas, entre outras, para dosimetria. Ambas, TL e OSL, são amplamente aplicadas em diversas áreas, como datação, controle de qualidade de equipamentos e monitoração individual. Um dos parâmetros para medir o conhecimento e o desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia é a avaliação do número de patentes relacionadas à área. Neste trabalho, estabelecemos uma metodologia para busca de patentes na base de dados da Organização Mundial da Propriedade Intelectual (WIPO) com o objetivo de revisar o desenvolvimento das dosimetrias TL e OSL ao longo do tempo.
