Technology Licensing
Technology Licensing Procedure
Types of Technology Licensing
Definition of Technology Licensing
Technology Licensing refers to the act of providing full execution rights to or acceding all rights due to the request of the inventor of the technology (intangible products such as patent rights, program, know-how etc.), request of a corporation with demand for the technology, or TLO marketing.
Technology Consultation
▶ Receiving expert consultation on information or technology from professors or researchers within a short time on such issues a faulty production lines or corporate organization reshuffling etc.
▶ Faculty of Seoul National University must sign any consulting contract through the school before providing a corporation with consulting services, and the consulting contract must include consulting period, consulting method, compensation for consultation, owner ship of intellectual property arising during the consultation process
Joint Research
▶ Also called "Academic-Industrial Cooperation Research," refers to cases where the corporation provides the research expenses and requests the university to develop the necessary technology
▶ Seoul National University uses a standard research agreement which regulates the various issues that may arise during the process of joint research (such as ownership of intellectual property, indemnity of warrantee etc.); therefore any joint research agreements should reflect the standard research agreement as much as possible.
(TIP) As there may be argument regarding intellectual property ownership of an outstanding technology developed during the course of joint research articles regarding intellectual property within the research agreement must be reviewed beforehand by the Intellectual Property Management Headquarters.
Types of Technology Licensing
| ·Technology (patent) Transfer - Transferring the ownership rights of a technology to a corporation - As argument may arise in case further research is necessary, to be used only in special cases ·Exclusive implementation rights (or Exclusive implementation rights) - Authorizing only a certain corporation to use the technology (or patent) - More than half of all technology transfer contracts include exclusive implementation right ·General implementation rights - Authorizing several corporation use the technology (or patent) - Used for technological licensing for areas such as where there are several corporations with demand for the technology |
(TIP) Although corporations prefer to receive exclusive implementation rights which enables exclusive use of the technology, universities are careful to prevent cases where the corporation does not make actual use of the technology rights, in which case there are no tangible benefits, through adjusting the payment method for technology or other agreement clauses.
