科技创新风险的合同法保护研究

Research on Contract law Protection of Science and Technology(Sci&Tech)Innovation Risk

科技创新活动往往伴随高风险与高失败率。调查研究显示,20世纪90年代初引入市场的近两万种科技产品,仅约10%能达到预定商业目标;目前,创新市场中约20%的创新成果能够应用于实际市场中,且只有不到五分之一的技术创新在市场应用中形成规模。立足科技创新风险展开合同法保护研究是更好地服务于科技创新发展之需要,对于有效提高科技成果转化率、加强知识产权保护有着重要意义。文章从广义风险概念出发对科技创新中的风险进行界定,明晰科技创新的合同基础,探究科研合同中的风险约定,最后对科技创新中的不可抗力展开论述。

Sci&tech innovations are often accompanied by risks and high failure rate.According to the survey,only about 10%of the nearly 20000 Sci&tech products introduced into the market in early 1990s can reach their intended commercial goals.At present,about 20%of the innovation achievements can be practically applied to the market,and less than one-fifth of the innovations can be applied at scale.Contract law protection research aiming at avoiding the risk of sci-tech innovation can better serve sci-tech innovation,and is of great significance to the improvement of the conversion rate of sci-tech achievements and the protection of intellectual property rights.This article defines the sci-tech innovation risk from a broader sense,clarifies the contractual basis of sci-tech innovation,discusses the risk provisions in scientific research contracts,and finally expounds the force majeure in sci-tech innovation.
