Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the management system for intellectual property (IP) within the Center for Technology Transfer (CTT) currently operating in the University Science Park–organizational unit of the University of Žilina. The CTT deals with procedural issues: acquisition of intellectual property rights, IP protection, and IP commercialization. In solving selected issues involving the Internal Directive´s content regulating the IP protection and commercialization in CTT of the University of Žilina, we are using available information and knowledge of the directives from both domestic and international universities.This investigation helps the CTT in formulating more effective directive contents for University Science Park in Žilina. The entire system of research and development funding through projects requires accurate and complex monitoring of the use of allocated funds for various activities and persons.  For internal usage, it is necessary to obtain discreet evidence that would allow accurate identification of funding received directly from IP creation-related projects.

Highlights

  • According to ZVS (2002), the role of higher education institutions, which are a part of the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area, is to develop harmonious personality, knowledge, wisdom, grace and creativity in man

  • The question is “How does the university acquire the intellectual property?” The answer to this question directly affects the method of accounting for intellectual property at the University and the method of allocating credits, copyright or progenitor amount of rewards and direct costs associated with the protection of a specific type of IP

  • Intellectual property rights are currently perceived in the area of Higher Educational Institutions mainly through written articles, publications, and undergraduate, graduate or doctorate dissertations

Summary

Introduction

According to ZVS (2002), the role of higher education institutions, which are a part of the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area, is to develop harmonious personality, knowledge, wisdom, grace and creativity in man. They must contribute to the development of education, science, culture and health for the welfare of the whole society—thereby contributing to the development of a knowledge society. As Bíla (2010) reported, for overall economic development, increasing economic competitiveness and quality of life the role of human capital accumulation, results of research, and development and innovation support are the crucial attributes. ZVS (2002) directly stated, in Article (11), that Higher Education Institutions are artificial entities engaged in research and development and, in Article (12), that the role of Higher Education Institutions in science and technology is to conduct fundamental research, applied research and development, use the latest knowledge of science and technology in the education of students, and involve them in creative research activity
