Even though papers and patents generated by public research institutions including universities are continuously increasing in Korea, commercialization of research outputs is significantly lower than developed countries. Therefore, it is very important to improve the effectiveness of technology licensing offices(TLOs) of universities. In this study, we study effects of the patent manager dispatch program(PMDP) of the Korean Patent Office(KPO) on the performance of TLOs. KPO has dispatched patent experts to selected TLOs under the PMSD since 2006. Based on data of 126 TLOs, we analysed whether the PMSD has improved the performances of beneficiary TLOs. We tested two related hypotheses: (1)Whether or not a TLO received the dispatch service had effects on its performance? (2)Were early beneficiaries more effective than late beneficiaries or non-beneficiaries because of cumulative learning effects? The main findings are as follows. The past experience in itself did not improve performances of beneficiary TLOs. However, early beneficiaries were better than late beneficiaries or non-beneficiaries, that is, some learning effects might help the beneficiary TLOs improve their performances.

국가연구개발사업의 성과제고가 과학기술계 주요 이슈로 부상되면서 사업의 경제적 성과창출에 초점을 둔 기술이전 및 사업화에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 국가연구개발사업에 대한 종합적인 서비스를 제공 하는 NTIS는 국가연구개발성과를 부가가치 창출로 연계시킬 수 있도록 지원하기 위해서 우수유망기술정보 서비스를 도입하였다. 우수유망기술정보는 국가연구개발과제에 대한 최종평가 결과가 우수한 과제의 연구성과(기술) 중 기술이전·사업화의 가능성이 있거나 후속연구를 통해 기술이전 사업화가 가능한 기술을 칭한다. NTIS에서는 2008년부터 우수유망기술정보 DB를 구축하였고 관련 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 우수유망기술정보서비스와 관련된 국내외 현황에 대해서 조사하였고 그에 따른 시사점을 제시하였다. 국가연구개발사업에 대한 대내외 환경변화 및 공익적인 사업성격을 고려하여 NTIS 우수유망기술정보서비스의 활용과 관련한 현황을 파악하였고, 개선점을 도출하였다. 더 나아가서 향후 효과적인 활용을 위한 방안을 도출하였다.

This study is public R & D institutions report to verify what the impact factors on the course of progress of industrialization based on technology companies who previously received prior to the developed technology, what policies and plans for the next requirements based on this by offering the implications for business rate was to contribute to the improvement of the public research institution technology transfer. In this study, the influence factors on technology commercialization derived through the analysis of existing and previous studies, the characteristics of the previously received corporate environmental characteristics and previous technologies through a survey of the company received a technology transfer from public research institutions commercialization decisions and contributions, including sales and commercialization of the results were analyzed by logistic regression analysis demonstrated how to have relevance. Analysis, and linkage with high production company has an existing case of IT technology transfer, commercialization of higher technical success rate was higher compatibility. On the other hand, were observed and expected success rate were higher when a rather commercialized technologies independently be earlier than if participating in joint research in the development of the technology, unlike previously, completeness of the prior art did not significantly affect. This study has the following policy implications. Public research institutions have developed technologies are commercialized to figure out what the requirements of the technical aspects of consumer technologies in order to create economic wealth. And for technology commercialization for enough technical competencies to absorb the technology, and that the technology and considering the link between business and technology commercialization success to be applied. This study has some limitations. First, the sample size was not sufficient. In relation to the presence and participation of corporate success and commercialization of the R & D process, with many previous studies are needed more in-depth analysis by leading research in the sense that different results are obtained. Also did not reflect the will or the corporate culture, management and organizational skills and belongs to the external environment and internal corporate enterprises industry characteristics affecting the success of corporate management of the business. And lacked sufficient consideration of the various technical characteristics present in the form of joint research and industry. Finally, there is a limit of generalizations about other industries.

국가연구개발사업은 국가연구개발사업의 관리 등에 대한 규정 제17조에 의거하여 연구개발결과를 활용하는데 그 목적을 가진다. 그러나, 사실상 최근 국가연구개발사업을 통해 개발된 연구기술들은 특허 등의 라이선스를 획득하고 기술이전을 통해 사업화로 이어지는 사례가 매우 미미하다. 실제로 2005년 산업자원부의 조사에 따르면, 국가연구개발사업의 사업화 성공률은 평균 31.4%로 선진국의 1/2에도 못 미치는 수준이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국가연구개발사업의 예산 대비 기술이전 및 확산을 통한 기술사업화 성공률을 높이기 위한 하나의 방법으로, 연구과제 평가 시 기술의 가치를 평가하여 그 평가결과를 예산배분에 반영 할 수 있도록 기술가치평가방법을 활용한 R&BD(Research &Business Development) 활성화를 위한 평가항목 및 개발될 기술의 사업성을 평가할 수 있는 평가모델을 설계하였다.

We have analyzed technology transfer and commercialization process and factors affecting the outcomes of technology commercialization of public research institutes in Korea. A technology commercialization process model was presented as an input, intermediate outcomes/capabilities, output (outcome) structure using the structural equation model. Input variables include R&D input, technology commercialization strategy/support, collaboration, social capital. The model also includes R&D capabilities and technology commercialization performance as intermediate variable and output variable respectively. The technology commercialization performance was measured as the number of technology transfer and spin-off. We conducted survey and 88 institutes responded. Empirical results show that R&D input influence R&D capabilities and R&D capabilities influence the output of technology transfer and commercialization. Collaboration activities and social capital also appear to have a positive effect on the output. However, the effect of strategy and support on the output appear to be not statistically significant.

Patent application as achievements from R&D institutions in public sector have quantitatively increased by expanding R&D investment for enhancing competitiveness but there have been few tangible outputs from the investment. From this reason, TLO(Technology Transfer&Licensing Organization) and its operation becomes more important to implement technology transfer and commercialization and to bring success in the related business. To get work done more efficiently and to improve utilizing products of the R&D in the TLO, this research is to draw domains and activities of TLO and establish its task systems by prioritizing activities. From literature reviews and expert interviews, we generated 6 work domains and 21 task items. Applying AHP analysis, we discriminated the relative importance from task items and analyzed its priority. The finding of this research can provide implications for TLO to increase work efficiency and improve its performance.

This study analyzed the effects of TLO's organization size, expertise, and economic compensation on technology transfer performance using the panel data of Government-Funded Research Institutes in 2013-2016. First, the size of TLO personnel and budget have a positive effect on the technology transfer performance. However, in the case of TLO manpower, the statistical significance of the effect on the number of technology transfers was only 90%, and it did not affect royalty. Second, TLO expertise has a strong impact on technology transfer performance. It shows that the number of professional license holders, such as patent attorney or a technology valuer, has a statistically significant effect on the increase of the technology transfer number and the royalty under the 99% confidence level. However, unlike expected, the size of the Ph.D. did not seem to have any effect on technology transfer performance. Finally, the economic compensation for TLO does not affect both the number of technology transfers and the royalty. It does not seem to work as an appropriate incentive system, because the absolute size of the compensation is too small. The results of the above analysis suggest that it is important to secure expertise in order for the TLO organization to play a substantial role, and it is necessary to improve the economic compensation system to attract TLOs to technology transfer.
