These days, the environment surrounding university has been changing rapidly and largely. Especially, the academic entrepreneurship for university spin-offs and wealth creation is being emphasized. And therefore, the importance of industry-academy-research institute cooperation for technology transfer and commercialization is increasing more and more. According to that, government have made various legal system and support the university activities for their autonomous and practical technology use, and one of that core means is to make university establish the special organization for technology transfer and commercialization, and support its activities systematically. This paper aims to study legal system on the special organization for university technology transfer and commercialization in korea. Especially, it is layed emphasis to search the problems and find out the improvement ways about the special organization. For this purpose, the legal system and necessity of special organization in university and other research institute are reviewed in domestic and abroad, the type and operation methodology of special organization in the existing laws are investigated in korea, the operation effects of several organization are analyzed, and lastly the improvement methods for activating the organization are studied and suggested.

생명공학은 질병, 환경, 식량, 에너지 등의 인류가 당면한 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 유일한 방법으로 주목을 받고 있으며, 생명공학산업은 미래 경제를 이끌 성장동력으로 부각되고 있다. 또한 생명공학 산업은 세계적인 경기침체에도 불구하고 '19년에 4,273억달러(연평균 5.7% 성장)에 이르는 등 지속적인 성장을 전망되고 있으며, 생명공학산업은 국민적 관심이 높을 뿐만 아니라 향후 관련 산업의 세계 시장이 빠르게 성장할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이러한 생명공학산업 성장이 국가 경제발전의 원동력으로 주목받으면서 주요 선진국을 비롯한 세계 여러 나라에서는 생명공학 분야의 글로벌 시장을 선점하기 위해서 생명공학 분야 지원 법제도를 신설하거나 기존의 생명공학 관련 법제들을 개정하여 생명공학 분야에 기술개발, 투자지원 등을 하고 있다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우, 생명공학 분야의 기술개발, 투자지원, 기술의 사업화 등 생명공학 분야의 육성을 지원할 수 있는 관련 법률들이 미비하다. 또한 생명공학 분야의 일반법이라 볼 수 있는 생명공학육성법은 R&D 중심의 규정들이 대부분이며, 목적과 용어가 시대에 맞지 않고 생명공학 기술개발 활성화를 위한 규정과 생명공학 분야 사업화를 위한 창업, 기술이전 등의 규정, 그리고 인력양성 등과 같은 기반조성을 위한 규정들도 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 생명공학 분야의 글로벌 시장에서의 경쟁력 향상과 국내 생명공학 산업의 활성화를 위해 R&D에서 산업화까지 전(全)단계를 체계적으로 육성 지원할 수 있도록 현행 생명공학육성법의 개정이 요구되어진다. 이에 본 논문에서는 생명공학육성 관련 법제들의 현황을 파악 진단하여, 생명공학 분야의 지속적인 성장을 위한 생명공학육성법의 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Emphasizing the importance of R&D as a source of open innovation, Korean government is developing various programs focused on technology commercialization and is expanding investment on it. In spite of those efforts, technology commercialization is not vitalized yet due to the lack of demand for technology transfer, R&D planning scheme without considering market, immaturity of technology market, and so on. This study aims to suggest the business ecosystem model so that technology commercialization could be facilitated based on business ecosystem perspective. We set the framework for modeling a business ecosystem through reviewing the previous works, and draw several problems to be solved regarding public R&D commercialization in Korea from the perspective of ecosystem. Considering those, this research proposes the business ecosystem model for public R&D commercialization as a reference model for describing, discussing, and developing the technology commercialization strategy. The proposed model consists of 4 domains as follows: R&D, technology market, information distribution channels, and customers. The business ecosystem model shows that technology commercialization could be facilitated to create the market value through close relationship and organic cooperation among its members that form the ecosystem. Public research institutes as a keystone player could control the fate of the ecosystem. In this regard, this paper suggests roles of public research institutes for evolving the business ecosystem.

Recently, one of the issues to be discussed from the viewpoint of product management in National R&D Programs is about the management of intellectual property produced by joint research and development. According to existing legislative system, the main R&D institute and collaborative enterprise own the patent produced by joint R&D activities together at the rate of investment. But, there are many discussions if that is right in legal principles and in substance. Patents by Cooperative National R&D Programs are very different from common patents because of its characteristics and have scheme controlled complexly by related laws and ordinances. This paper aims to review the legal theory on the possession and utilization of patents produced by Cooperative National R&D Programs, and to try to find out the improvement of existing legislative system. For this purpose, after looking into the meaning and the legal system of Cooperative National R&D Programs, and examining the ruling theory on the possession and utilization of co-invented patent, finally research the problems and improvement of existing related legislative system.

Innovation is the development of new customers value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in value adding new ways. This is accomplished through more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society. Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. Therefore, the utilization of patents is the most important of the three aspects (creation, protection and utilization) in the patent system for getting to actual innovation. In order to increase the patent use, the rates of the applied patents to a real industrial process and the bargain and license of patent rights should be promoted. For promoting technological innovation substantially, there is necessary to escape from dichotomy of weakening or enhancing patent protection in the discussion on the changes of patent system for "Adequate patent guarantees". Furthermore, the legal and institutional improvements to enable the use of patent should be discussed together. Recently, open innovation is a new paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as the firms look to advance their technology" or "Innovating with partners by sharing risk and sharing reward." The boundaries between a firm and its environment have become more permeable; innovations can easily transfer inward and outward. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead buy or license processes or inventions (i.e. patents) from other companies. In addition, internal inventions not being used in a firm's business should be taken outside the company. In the era of open innovation, more flexible patent use strategy is essential. It is important that improvements for the legal system in order that patented technology can be applied for products and processes in a real industrial between outside and inside of the firms.

Overseas advanced countries are aware of the importance of research equipment and are providing a lot of policy support to revitalize the research equipment industry. However, Korea does not have any law to support policies or related projects to revitalize the research equipment industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need for legislation to support policies and projects for revitalizing research equipment industry. It is considered necessary to establish a separate special law for revitalizing the research equipment industry so that it can gain competitiveness in the global market of the research equipment industry. As we have seen, the necessary articles in the relevant laws should be specified so that various promotion policies can be developed to foster the research equipment industry. In order to promote the development of research equipment industry, there are three essential items to be specified in the law. First is research and development support, second is infrastructure development, and third is business incubation. The following contents should be included in each contents. First of all, "research and development support" includes research and envelopment project promotion and support policy items, research equipment development trends and investment trends, joint research between industry, academia, And research and development support for fusion, hybrid and commercialization. Next, the items to be included in "infrastructure development" should include the establishment of research equipment clusters, related support items, training of professional manpower, and research equipment development base area and institutions. Finally, the items that should be included in "business incubation." include support matters for the development of excellent companies (priority purchase system, etc.), matters related to technology transfer and marketing, matters concerning the protection of intellectual property, And matters for promoting overseas expansion.
