Políticas públicas en propiedad intelectual escrita. Una escala de medición para educación superior del Perú

The general objective of this article is to analyze the public policies on intellectual property of Peru, in order to propose a scale for its measurement at the level of higher education. It is a study based on the hermeneutical historical paradigm of qualitative-quantitative approach. The investigation is descriptive, a document and legal information tracking has been done in the field of intellectual property. The variable under study is theorized, creating a construct of it and establishing a contextualized concept to the current conjuncture; dimensions of knowledge about intellectual property, drafting standards and citations are considered. The results indicate that the intellectual property written properly is referred to the copyright; however, it is only one part since it covers the right of work’s ownership by the author; which has its genesis when it materializes. Based on this, a measurement scale is proposed, subjecting it statistically to reliability using the KR-20 = 0.870 statistic, which is high. It is concluded that the mechanisms implemented by the Peruvian State-that protect the author-must be better coordinated and implemented.
