An Empirical Study of the Implementation of Taiwan Intellectual Property Management System

[[abstract]]智慧財產已為企業重要之獲利來源，且智慧財產權管理儼然已成為現今主流。藉由智慧財產權之管理，企業不但能保護自己辛苦研發成果與相關智慧財產免於被侵權，並轉為競爭上的利器，更能促進整體產業的蓬勃發展，累積國家競爭力。目前台灣工業局於2007年正式推行台灣智慧財產管理規範（TIPS），設法在不同規模的企業對管理智慧財產權所投入之資源不成正比的情況下，進而將智慧財產權管理作業程序標準化，使企業能依據其整體政策與目標，進行有系統的智慧財產權管理工作，將企業內部成員所研發出的智慧財產，加以保留、累積，進而轉化為該企業的智慧資本，並將這些相互關聯的流程，形成由組織全體、從上至下，有整體規劃的系統。 然而，單靠執行單位的推行，政府若無完整的相關配套措施與教育理念的大力宣傳，或者民間企業持觀望態度，則一套良好的管理制度將無立足之支撐點。台灣智慧財產管理規範(TIPS)讓有心想使自身企業的智慧財產權做妥善的規劃、管理與運用，但卻不知從何著手進行時，即可為一個現成的典範。本研究藉由2005-2006年導入TIPS之企業，進行個案研究，探討各產業組織導入TIPS規範與建立內部制度之經過與成效等，嘗試對TIPS規範提出相關修改建議，期許TIPS融入現有國際標準ISO基礎後，成為未來國際智慧財產管理制度參考準則。進而以IBM、Hitachi等大國企業為例，探討美國、日本、中國企業智慧財產管理現況，俾期做為我國政府與民間企業之參考，以促進我國智慧財產管理制度之健全與提升。[[abstract]]Intellectual Property has become an important source of income for enterprises and Intellectual Property Rights Management has now turned mainstream in management Through management of intellectual property rights enterprises not only can protect the hard-won research results and relevant intellectual properties being infringed upon but also turn it as a weapon in competition for promoting booming development of the entire industry and accumulate national competitiveness Taiwan’s Industrial Development Bureau officially launched the Taiwan Intellectual Property Management System (TIPS) in 2007 in a move to standardize the Standard Operation Procedure of intellectual property management for enterprises of different scales with uneven proportion of investment in intellectual property management Thus enterprises can carry out systematic management of intellectual property rights in accordance with their overall policies and objectives thereby retain accumulate and convert the intellectual properties researched by employees into intellectual capital and form an overall planned system of the interrelated flows and the entire organization from top to bottom and set a direction for intellectual property rights management However implementation by execution units alone without complete ancillary measures by the government and vigorous publicity in education or if the private enterprises take a wait-and-see attitude this fairly good management system will have no supporting point TIPS has provided a fairly good paradigm for enterprises which have the intention of properly planning managing and employing means for intellectual property management but yet do not know how to do it This research has carried out case studies on enterprises which have introduced TIPS 2005-2006 and explored introduction of TIPS into the various industry organizations and set up internal systems The research attempts to present relevant recommendations for revision of TIPS so that after merging into the current ISO TIPS will become a reference guideline for the international intellectual property management system The research also cites examples of IBM Hitachi and other major multinational enterprises and explores the current situation of intellectual property rights management by the US Japanese and Chinese enterprises as reference for our government and private enterprises thereby promoting and improving our intellectual property management syste
