It is believed that patents are not fully explored as information providers documents, both by companies and by research institutions or universities. In this context, this paper aimed to investigate whether patents are used as information sources in academic works (master's dissertations and doctoral theses). For this, works of chemical engineering from 2000 to 2007 of the State University of Campinas, Brazil (UNICAMP) were selected. Data were collected through the patents cited and referenced in academic works and the sample comprised 586 items. The results of this study have demonstrated that 16.4% of the works analyzed have used patents as information sources and have also cited this kind of document. In addition, results indicated that U.S. patents are the most cited byresearchers from UNICAMP (63,8%). Lower percentages were observed for Japanese patents (9,0%), European patents (7,2%), English patents (4,0%), German patents (3,2%) and Brazilian patents (2,7%).
