MANAGEMENT OF COMMERCIALIZATION OF OBJECTSOF LAW INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

Background. In the contemporary landscape, research universities play a pivotal role in the creation of new knowledge and technologies. The commercialization of intellectual property rights (IPR) originating from these universities can yield substantial economic and social benefits. The effective management of intellectual property commercialization stands as a crucial determinant of the success of research universities. Various models exist for managing the commercialization of intellectual property, each with its own set of merits and demerits. It has been established that the successful commercialization of IPR from research universities is not merely a pursuit of maximizing commercial gains from scientific discoveries and developments, but also serves as the bedrock for long-term partnerships and future economic benefits for university science and industry. The goal was to study the existing practices of commercialization of IPPR in the world's leading research universities and their adaptation to Ukrainian realities, considering national characteristics. Methods. The study employed a range of rigorous research methods, including analysis of literary sources, comparative and statistical analysis, and generalization. These methods were chosen to ensure the reliability and validity of the findings. The results. The study analyzed management models of IPPR commercialization in different countries worldwide. It systematized the forms, functions, and results of foreign models of IPR commercialization. It revealed each model's features, advantages, and disadvantages. A model of OPV commercialization at a research university in Ukraine is proposed. Conclusions. It was revealed that effective management of the commercialization of IPR is an important factor for the successful development of a research university. Taking into account the specifics of the research university, the selection and implementation of the optimal management model for the commercialization of IPR can significantly increase the effectiveness of this process.
