Debate ¡®Who Owns the Intellectual Property Rights?¡¯ was held by Korea Economic Daily and National Academy Engineering of Korea at the Technology Center located in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul. Various professionals and specialists in the field of disputes participated to debate on disputes involving large corporations, universities, and mid-sized companies over intellectual property rights.
In the keynote speech, Professor Jae-Keun Park of Hanyang University¡¯s Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering stated that the ¡°most important issue is the form of ownership for intellectual property rights resulting from a research conducted by a university and funded by a corporation, whether it is joint-ownership or sole ownership by the corporation.¡± He further explained that ¡°the opinions of universities and corporations have obviously been different and there has not been much progress in coming up with the solution.¡± After the keynote speech, various corporations and universities participated in a debate to express their opinions regarding the issue. Jeong-Hwan Lee, Vice President of LG Electronics and Head of Patent Center stated that ¡°Korean corporations are still at a stage where the amount of patent loyalties paid is greater than the amount of patent loyalties received,¡± and that ¡°many delicate problems arise if universities claim joint-ownership of the IP rights and the IP rights belong to corporations because it¡¯s the right compensation for the work conducted by the corporations.¡±
On the other hand, Professor Kug Sun Hong of Seoul National University¡¯s Materials Science and Engineering Department stated that ¡°universities are corporations and unfairness can result from the contracts, thereby calling for a need for joint-ownership to promote research.¡± |
