Commercializing universities' R&D outputs is a major management challenge and there are limited studies to describe this phenomenon from the perspective of companies' management. Experiences of six small and medium size and four large companies' management's respondents are gathered through semi-structured face-toface interviews. Twelve critical success factors revealed by the respondents, namely R&D product and market readiness, good partnership with university, researcher's motivationand commitment, availability of resources, government support and motivation, control and ownership of intellectual property rights, university's management support, entrepreneurial culture in the university, an open communication and trusting relationship, researchers' skills, a risk taking attitude, and existence of performance measures as important to commercialize the universities' R&D outputs in Malaysia. The different views from the management of small and medium size, and large companies are also discussed in this study.

This paper analyzes the role of absorptive capacity in R&D spillovers through strategic R&D investments in a game-theoretic framework. In the model, a firm's effective R&D is composed of idiosyncratic R&D, which produces its own innovations, and identical R&D, which improves absorptive capacity. The model shows that in the presence of absorptive capacity firms have a tendency to underinvest (overinvest) in idiosyncratic (identical) R&D relative to the social optimum. As the spillover becomes larger, firms decrease their own R&D while they become more inclined towards strategic exploitation of rivals' efforts. Since the former effect overpowers the latter, the total amount of R&D decreases as the spillover increases. This is socially undesirable, providing a potential justification for a governmental subsidy for idiosyncratic R&D and a tax on identical R&D. The findings may have important implications for newly industrialized or emerging countries that consider a redirection of national R&D policy and intellectual property rights (IPR) regime.

XML4IP는 현재 세계지적재산권기구(WIPO)가 특허, 디자인, 상표 정보를 교환하는데 상호운영성을 지향하기 위해 개발하고 있는 표준이다. XML4IP는 단순히 지재권 데이터를 처리하고 교환하는 것 뿐만 아니라 현존하고 있는 각각의 지재권 정보 표준을 대체하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이에 XML4IP의 현재까지 진행된 표준 내용 및 각국 특허청의 논의내용을 분석하였고, 세계 각국이 지향하는 지재권 정보 처리 방안에 대한 의견을 종합하였다.

본 논문에서는 경제적인 관점에서 컴퓨터 프로그램에 관련한 지적재산권이 과도하게 보호되지 말아야 하는 논리와 그에 따른 처방에 대해서 분석한다. 사용자의 투자가 엄청난 경우나 접속 사양에 대한 저작권 보호는 개발자에게 과도한 보상을 하여 줄 수 있다. 특히 사실상의 표준화가 실현되는 경우에는 경쟁적인 대체재에 대한 통제를 하게 될 수 있는 등의 이유로 반경쟁적이 되며 이에 따른 막대한 후생손실이 결과한다. 이외에도 저작권 보호로 보완재의 출현을 봉쇄하게 될 때, 지적재산권 보호에 따른 관련 산업이 반경쟁적이 됨에 따른 후생 손실이 결과한다. 이러한 후생손실은 소프트웨어에 고유로 존재하는 망외부성으로 인하여 더욱 크게 나타난다. 그러므로 어떤 소프트웨어가 사실상의 표준을 실현한 경우에 저작권이 부여는 신중을 기해야 함을 본다.

If we want to overcome the current IMF-guarded economic situations as early as possible and to change the present industry structure to the new knowledge-based structure, it is a great necessity to increase the capability of technology innovation as a key factor of the international competitiveness, and to establish the infrastructure of venture business for increasing utilization of technologly and patent. Even though there has been a great increase in application and enrollment of the Industrial Property Rights (i.e. IPRs) including patent recently, the number of unused IPRs are increasing progressively every year (for example, the ratio of unused patent is about 60% in 1997), and illegal use of patent and dependance on the foreign patent are increasing sharply. This paper will suggest policy on nurturing venture business for increasing utilization of the unused IPRs, including technology transaction strategy and link strategy of the high-tech industries between metro Taejon and Chungcheong Area.

This paper explores the determinants of the economic value of patents using a survival time analysis. The analysis is based on renewal information of about 250,000 patents filed from 1984 to 2005 in the Korea Intellectual Property Office. A patent right is valid only when its owner pays yearly maintenance fees. Failure to pay causes patent rights to be lapsed. We use the fact that more valued patents live longer and the lengths of their renewals can be closely related to their value. The value can be affected not only by its own technological aspects such as quality and breadth, but also by characteristics of its owners such as innovativeness and age. This paper presents patent-specific and firm-specific characteristics which influence patent value. The result of analysis implies that patent value depends on both the technological contents of the patent and general capabilities of a firm.

The widespread use of the Internet brings about the issue regarding intellectual property and copyright. This paper describes DRM (Digital Rights Management) technologies and their related issues. Current approaches on DRM architecture are examined first. Based on the review, we discuss some security issues that would be essential to design security mood and architecture appropriate for DRM. Having these security issues in mind, we propose a new approach on DRM security architecture, based on our trust model.

LMP based pricing system has many merits over SMP. One of them is that network congestion can be managed by the market price together with congestion revenue rights. Korean power system has a peculiar property that the transmission line where network congestion occurs is known and does not vary. For such a system, zonal pricing method is considered to be appropriate as it is simpler than nodal pricing. In this paper, we did feasibility study on zone grouping method and tendency of zonal price compared with nodal price.

Public procurement for innovation (PPI) is a new approach in stimulating innovation, and currently attracts considerable attention from policymakers and academics. This paper discusses the rationales and perspectives of PPI in Vietnam. The rationales for public procurement for innovation policy in Vietnam compared to theoretical and international practice are discussed. From such a comparison, the paper concludes that R&D results-procurement policy in Vietnam shall be understood and implemented as regular PPI both theoretically and practically. However while designing the policy, policymakers must consider the characteristics of the STI system of the country in order to make the policy adaptable to context. The paper identifies that PPI in Vietnam can be implemented with a ready legal framework (intellectual property rights, R&D contracts, standardization, etc.), the prepared capabilities of R&D institutions, businesses, and public agencies in innovation processes, and the provision of a demand-supply network and other procurement incentives.

The development of information & telecommunication technology and internet-based electronic commerce helps to create a new economic environment. Such an economic environment requires the companies to change themselves, while providing unlimited potential and opportunities to them. Thus, in order to help the companies engaged in a fair and free competition in the electronic market, a fair competition policy needs to be designed and operated. The electronic commerce has not only promote the competition but also impede it. The electronic commerces tend to violate the fair trade than the conventional commerces in terms of differentiation, monopoly, conference, limited competition and intellectual property rights, schumpeterian competition, Alliance competition. With such basic concepts in mind, this study was aimed at reviewing the economic effects of the electronic commerce in the market and addressing the problems involving the application of the fair trade code to the electronic commerce, and thereby, suggesting the insights into our fair competition policy and reform measures.
