With the paradigm of up-coming the knowledge-based society, there blow new winds of change to the university. It was just in 10 years university's becoming the main core in the government policy of the university-industry Cooperation. Before that time, university had been always to be home of education and the field of research. The members in university including professors have been neglected the importance of profit intentionally. So it is not easy to make system which can control from the cooperation agreements to the results after finishing the cooperation. Faced with the cooperation agreements which were already filed, most of articles were written down to the favor of Industry. Especially the intellectual properties were only belonged to the industry, even though the research was cooperated together from the beginning step.
In this thesis, I wanted to pick up the conflicting articles in the university-industry cooperation agreements and suggest the solutions which were represented from University working level. First of all, I focused on the results of the cooperating research, especially the intellectual properties. It consisted of three part. In detail, the belonging of intellectual properties which were the results of research cooperation, publicity of the research results, and expenses for the filing of the intellectual properties. And other relevant articles which make the cooperation agreement evenly to both sides. For example, applying the formal university-industry cooperation agreements, compensation and guarantee for the damage which could be occur from other intellectual properties, and developed technology which could be producted from another research. Also, I wanted to mention about settling down of professor's invention, adding up the degree of patent and technology transfer when evaluation of professor's promotion in university, etc.
This thesis was written down in the eyes of working levels in the university. And intended to help the new members who get in the field of intellectual property and technology transfer. When they needs to look after the university-industry cooperation agreements, it will provide them what are the problems and what could be the answers. But it will be difficult to accept this research directly. Not because the working levels don't know the conflicts, but because others still stands on misunderstanding about the efforts of university to make it correct the articles on the cooperation agreements. If all of the universities are aware of the problems and answers, and make the same voice to the industry, university could figure out the management system in negotiation about the results of the cooperating research, especially intellectual properties. So, university can make it through and get a further step for the way of financial independent.
To know the real situation about the university-industry cooperation agreements in each university, I tried to take part in the survey which was made in each year from Korea Research Foundation. Also, I cited some formal university-industry cooperation agreements in domestic and overseas university, including some company's contract which were already executed.
I hope this research will be used as part of reference when the working levels need to know real situation. Also I hope it will be added more articles in this field by another writer when it needs to.
