Abstract

Ever since the Act on the Promotion of Industrial Education and Industry-Academic Cooperation (IAC) was enacted in 2003, domestic universities have been focusing on commercialization research that can be applied to basic research industries by collaborating with industry and government agencies. Despite these efforts, the ratio of technology transfer and commercialization through IAC is low. Most technology transfer and technology commercialization studies have derived core technologies by analyzing the applied patents. First, this study collected expired patents from major domestic universities, compared quality characteristics of the expired and live patents, and finally found key patents among expired patents in order to identify companies and fields of application to which the patents can be utilized. The results of the study focus on expired university patents in terms of methodology and present a framework to identify patents capable of continuous IAC and technology transfer and match them with those in need. The results of this study are expected to contribute to increasing the efficiency of technology commercialization.

2003년 '산업교육진흥 및 산학협력촉진에 관한 법률'에 따라 국내대학은 기업 및 정부 기관과 협업을 통하여 기초연구에서 산업에 응용할 수 있는 상업화 연구에 집중하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 산학협력을 통한 기술이전 및 기술사업화의 비율은 낮은 실정이다. 대부분의 기술이전 및 기술사업화 연구는 권리가 존재하는 특허를 분석하여 핵심기술을 도출하였다. 반면, 본 연구에서는 권리가 소멸된 특허를 기반으로 산학협력 유망기술을 도출하는 방법론을 제안한다. 이를 위해 첫째 국내 주요 대학의 미활용 등록 특허를 수집하고, 둘째 미활용 특허와 활용 특허의 품질 특성을 비교하여 미활용 특허의 가치를 검토하며, 최종적으로 미활용 특허 중 핵심특허를 발굴하여 해당 특허가 활용될 수 있는 기업과 활용 분야를 발굴하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 대학의 미활용 특허에 초점을 맞추어 지속적인 산학협력 및 기술이전이 가능한 특허를 발굴하고 이를 잠재수요기업과 매칭하는 전략 틀을 제시한 연구로, 대학의 산학협력 활성화와 기업의 기술사업화의 효율성 증대에 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.
