欧盟委员会关于研究组织与项目的知识产权管理实践及启示

European Commission’s Intellectual Property Practice and Implications for Public Research Organization and Project Management

我国公共研究组织及项目的知识产权管理中存在知识产权法律政策与组织层面管理实践不协调的问题。本文旨在对欧盟委员会知识产权管理的规则和实践进行梳理分析,从相关管理部门视角分析其管理规则,以促进我国科研组织将国家法律和政策嵌入到知识产权管理政策和流程中,提升组织和项目的知识产权管理水平。在研究方法上,本文采取网络调研法,选取欧盟委员会具有代表性的管理政策及实践,梳理其如何将知识产权法律、政策落实到欧盟计划的管理细则层面。调研内容包括面向知识转移活动的公共研究组织知识产权管理指南及知识产权资产管理准则、欧盟地平线欧洲项目知识产权管理规则,及其为地平线项目提供的知识产权服务。分析结果启示我国可加强对公共研究组织及项目的知识产权管理指导和示范工作,如:制定知识产权管理指南以及知识产权资产增值准则,或资助高度专业的知识产权服务,特别是在具体操作流程中提供政策工具包以提升知识产权管理效率。

In the IP management of public research organisations and projects in China,China still has the problem of inconsistency between the IP laws and policies and the management practices at the institutional level.The study aims to analyse the relevant IP management rules and practices of the European Commission and to analyse the management rules from the perspective of IP-related management departments to encourage China’s research organisations to incorporate the national laws and policies into their IP management policies and processes and to improve the IP management level of their organisations and projects.The study adopts a network survey method to select representative management policies and practices of the European Commission and to investigate how it implements IP laws and policies into the management rules of EU programmes.The research includes IP management guidelines and IP asset management guidelines for public research organisations focused on knowledge transfer activities,IP management rules for the EU Horizon Europe project and its IP services funded by the Horizon project.The results suggest that China can strengthen the guidance and demonstration of intellectual property management and project intellectual property management in public research organizations,such as formulating guidelines for intellectual property management of institutions and projects,guidelines for the appreciation of intellectual property assets,or funding highly professional intellectual property services.In particular,policy toolkits are provided in specific operational processes to improve the efficiency of IP management.
