Abstract

The purpose of this study was to present the future directions for strengthening the TLO(Technology licensing office)s' expertise of universities by examining the impact on utilizing the university management experts for patents and technology transfer. To identify the specific effects of dispatching patent management experts, this study was conducted under various conditions, such as the dispatch status, the dispatching duration of patent management experts and the starting year of dispatching them. The data were analyzed by utilizing the data of the KIPSI's supporting program of dispatching the patent management expert to universities and the data of University Information Disclosure site. The data from a total of 110 four-year universities from 2008 to 2013 were used. According to the analysis result, the technology transfer's performance and technology transfer's income of universities of utilizing the patent management experts compared to universities not utilizing them appeared to be high. Technology transfer and technology transfer income appeared to be higher with a longer period of utilizing the patent management expert at university. This suggests that the direction is required to provide the plan for a longer period to maximize the effect of the program "The dispatching a patent management expert". The technology transfer's performance and technology transfer's income did not increase according to the year of dispatched the patent management expert at the university. A comparison of before and after dispatching, the technology transfer performance appeared to be high after dispatch. This suggests that the effects of dispatching the patent management experts at a university can be interpreted as a subsequent effect, rather than an immediate effect. Therefore, it does not simply limit the effectiveness of the dispatch business in the short term, but it needs to activate the technology transfer organization, such as a patent management expert in the long term.

본 연구는 대학의 특허경영전문가 활용이 기술이전 성과에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 향후 대학이 기술전담조직의 전문성강화의 방향성을 제시하고자 하였다. 특허경영전문가 파견에 관한 세부적인 효과파악을 위하여 세부적으로 특허경영전문가 파견유무, 특허경영전문가 파견기간, 특허경영전문가 파견연도로 세분화하여 연구를 진행하였다. 분석을 위하여, 대학정보공시센터의 "대학알리미" 자료와 한국지식재산전략원의 "특허경영전문가파견사업" 자료를 활용하였으며, 총 110개 4년제 대학을 중심으로 2008년부터 2013년간의 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 대학의 특허경영전문가활용은 활용 대학이 미활용대학 대비 기술이전 및 기술이전수입이 높은 것으로 나타나 대학의 기술이전 활성화를 이루는데 있어 특허경영전문가 활용이 중요한 역할을 했다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 대학의 특허경영전문가활용기간이 길수록 기술이전 및 기술이전수입이 높아지는 것으로 나타나 사업의 효과를 더욱 극대화하기 위하여 기간을 연장할 수 있는 방안마련이 필요하다는 방향성을 도출할 수 있었다. 셋째, 특허경영전문가 파견연도(해당연도)에는 기술이전 및 기술이전이 높아지지 않은 반면, 파견연도 전후로 기술이전성과가 나타나 특허경영전문가 파견이 즉각적인 효과라기 보다는 후속적인 효과로 해석할 수 있었다. 그렇기 때문에 파견사업의 효과를 단순히 짧은기간에 한정시키지 말고, 장기적인 관점에서 기술이전전담조직을 활성화시켜야 할 것이다.
