In small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs), protecting innovations is essential for competitiveness. However, a small percentage of SMEs make effective use of intellectual property management strategies, due, among other factors, to the lack of specific management tools. In this context, the objective of this article is to develop an index to evaluate efficiency and support SMEs in the management of intellectual property based on an evaluation model composed of indicators. For this, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to assign weights to the elements that compose the model. Then, based on the assigned weights, mathematical modeling of the index was developed, as well as parameters for the classification of the level of efficiency of SMEs. The results indicate that the proposed index (entitled Index E) was made up of multi-attributes, distributed in 3 levels (3 dimensions, 9 key assessment factors and 42 indicators), covering several aspects that involve the dynamics of SMEs with regard to the management of intellectual property.
