The patents which never have marketed are unsuccessful innovations. The patent’s national phases are an indispensable process for the marketing of innovation. In this process, patent owners decide in which countries they want to get protection. Despite being an essential issue that generates significant competitive advantages over competitors and relevant for technology transfer and patent licence, few discussions are on this issue. Indeed, the institutions for which this is a new practice cannot find much literature guiding them. Thus, the paper provides a novel methodology to identify the potential countries for applying. Overall, the proposed methodology uses patent analysis and market research methods to define the value of a technology, and the target countries to perform patent filings as an international technological strategy. This paper analyses a case to illustrate step by step how it is possible to use affordable market and technology data to select the countries in which a patent must be protected. The methodology for patent’s national phases may contribute to (i) define the selection process to establish nations in which patent protection is necessary instead of proposing a set of general recommendations and (ii) how a guide to delineate comparative advantages and market possibilities.

从未上市的专利是不成功的创新。专利的国家阶段是创新营销不可或缺的过程。在这个过程中，专利权人决定他们想要在哪些国家获得保护。尽管这是一个与竞争对手相比产生显着竞争优势并与技术转让和专利许可相关的基本问题，但关于这个问题的讨论很少。事实上，对于这种作为一种新实践的机构来说，找不到多少指导它们的文献。因此，本文提供了一种新的方法来确定潜在的申请国家。总体而言，拟议的方法使用专利分析和市场研究方法来定义一项技术的价值，以及将专利申请作为一项国际技术战略的目标国家。本文分析了一个案例，以逐步说明如何使用负担得起的市场和技术数据来选择必须保护专利的国家。专利国家阶段的方法可能有助于 (i) 确定选择过程，以建立需要专利保护的国家，而不是提出一套一般性建议，以及 (ii) 如何作为描述比较优势和市场可能性的指南。
