Analiza procesa patentiranja s poudarkom na fazah raziskovalnega procesa - primer Slovenije

This article presents some findings about the process of patenting of Slovenian and foreign researchers in scientific research. Based on the reviewed literature and with help of our conceptual model, we establish that the patenting process can be divided into three separate phases: knowledge detection phase, knowledge dissemination phase and knowledge transfer phase. During the process of researching and patenting, a variety of factors affect the results, which can be divided into two groups: internal and external factors. In Slovenia, patents are statistically significant for researchers working and exploring in the fields of natural science and engineering. Research results in the form of a patent largely depend on financial support and work experiences of individual researchers or research groups. The commercialization of a patent means a successful ending of the research process, as many positive benefits are expected.Članek predstavlja ugotovitve glede procesa patentiranja slovenskih in tujih raziskovalcev v znanstveno-raziskovalni sferi. Na podlagi pregledane literature in s pomočjo modela ugotavljamo, da lahko proces patentiranja razdelimo v tri ločene faze, in sicer fazo odkrivanja znanja, fazo diseminacije znanja in fazo aplikacije/prenosa znanja. Na proces raziskovanja in posledično na patentiranje vplivajo različni dejavniki, ki smo jih razdelili na notranje in zunanje. V Sloveniji so patenti statistično značilni za tiste raziskovalce, ki izhajajo oziroma raziskujejo na naravoslovno-tehničnem področju. Rezultati raziskovanj v obliki patenta so v veliki meri odvisni od finančne podpore in delovnih izkušenj, tako posameznega raziskovalca, kot raziskovalne skupine. Komercializacija patenta je uspešen zaključek raziskovanj, od katere se pričakuje številne pozitivne koristi
