Chapter 20 Joy's Scientific Explanation Next
"The knowledge and present of professors and doctors can be summarized by patent rights. Regarding patent rights, we need to solve the problem of: who belongs to the patent rights, who belongs to the patent rights, and how to allocate the results of the patents." Joey lay on the desk and took the paper and pen, and wrote in front of the crown prince.
"German universities and scientific research institutions are now the best in the world. People from all over the world come to Germany to study and research. Since they have obtained the knowledge and presentation in German universities and scientific research institutions, the patent rights must belong to Germany. Anyone who does not accept this view, I strongly recommend that they stop their continued study and scientific research in Germany." Joey drew a horizontal line under the two words German on paper, "Germany has private and public universities and research institutions, so I will talk about public first."
"The patents funded by the state belong to Germany, but Germany is an abstract concept, so we need a concrete concept to practice. Dad, who do you think the patent is best managed?" Joey asked his father.
"How about the government coming forward?" the crown prince asked.
"Government management patents, absolute state control, of course it's good!" Joey wrote the word government on paper.
"If the government manages it, then a huge department needs to be formed. The government wants to go to the parliament to fight for more budgets. The government and the parliament will storm the war for a mark of budget. Assuming that the budget is successfully won and this new department has a new department, then in order to ensure the operation of the new department, there is also an administrative approval process. Dad, you know the procrastination and laziness of the German bureaucrats. In the end, these obvious and current will only be left to the shelter of the bureaucrats, which will also hurt the empire."
"If the patent does not belong to the country, then it belongs to the individual? Joey, I remember that this is what the university did now." The Crown Prince gave another answer.
"The patents invested by the state cannot belong to individuals. As a member of national universities and scientific research institutions, they engage in research in state-sponsored institutions. If the patents belong to individuals, it is as ridiculous as the products produced by employees in factories and hired workers! But now, in these state-funded German universities and research institutions, patents are actually personal! This behavior is to steal the scientific wealth of the entire German country! It is a thief!" Joey said angrily.
"Since there are shortcomings in the overall management of the government and personal management is theft, then who should manage it well?" the crown prince continued to ask with a frown.
"Dad, my suggestion is to be managed by universities and research institutions themselves. First, state-sponsored universities and research institutions belong to Germany. Secondly, professors and doctors teach and research in universities and research institutions, so universities and research institutions can easily manage their patent rights directly. Finally, after the patent rights belong to universities and research institutions, we only need to stipulate their obligations, such as timely disclosure of research results, timely application of patents, etc. The most important obligation is that patents must be given priority to German companies." Joey drew a circle on universities and research institutions.
"I'll talk about private ones. In private universities and research institutions, I also insist that private universities and research institutions have patent rights because they can encourage their enthusiasm and they can also support themselves through patent authorization fees. However, investors should have the only right to use and have the first priority ownership when private universities and research institutions give up their patent rights."
"There is another very important thing. Both public and private universities and research institutions can only authorize others to use patents and are never allowed to sell patents." Joey emphasized this on paper.
"When it comes to authorizing others to use the patent rights of private universities and research institutions only own the investors. Public institutions are different. For public universities and research institutions, the government needs to have the right to intervene. The government must encourage and guarantee that as long as a German company is willing to apply for and pay fees, it can obtain the right to use the patent. If a foreign company wants to obtain the right to use the patent, it must be authorized with the consent of the researcher, university or research institution, and the government, and it must also be guaranteed that it has been applied by domestic German companies."
"The next step is the allocation of patent results." Joey continued, "It must be made clear that I object to enterprises directly founded by universities or research institutions. Universities or research institutions will definitely not allow universities or research institutions to participate in the operation. Universities and research institutions, the pure teaching and research academic atmosphere must be guaranteed. Universities and research institutions only allow services to enterprises through patent authorization and use of technical services, or patent equity investment and technical services."
"Will the patent results be converted faster if universities or scientific research institutions directly start businesses?" The Crown Prince was a little confused.
"On the surface, this is actually a killing chicken to get eggs. The key goal of universities and research institutions is to ensure the quality of talents cultivated by universities and the leading position of scientific research institutions in the scientific and technological level. If professors or doctors focus on how to make money, then who will do their best to teach and research? Universities and research institutions do not do their best to do their best in their jobs, how can they ensure the world's first in German universities and research institutions?" Joey asked back.
Joey continued, "Of course, in order to avoid chores such as paper work and disturb the teaching and research of professors and doctors, I suggest that universities and research institutions set up new departments to implement patent results transformation. For example, I suggest that Professor Koch call this new department the transfer center."
"Taking the transfer center of Professor Koch as an example, Professor Koch and Dr. Belling are just consultants, serving the company I will set up. On this project, their consultant period is only five years, and we have agreed that if a professor or a doctorate takes up a position in the company in the future, he will need to resign from the institute."
"Anyway, I need to make sure that within a week, professors and doctors must have four days to engage in teaching and research, and this record of evidence needs to be recorded by their secretary for supervision and inspection."
"Dad, what I want to talk about in the end is the distribution of results after the patent transfer. The contract stipulates that I use the patents of Professor Koch's Institute and need to pay the patent transfer fee at a certain proportion of the operating income every year. Regarding the allocation of transfer fees, my advice to Professor Koch is." Joey pointed to the contract in the hands of the crown prince.
"First 16% of the annual transfer fee is as the management fee of the transfer center, and 1/3 of the remaining 84% of the transfer fee will be rewarded to Dr. Belling, a person with diphtheria antitoxin technology. One-third is used as the scientific research fund for continuing research, and the remaining 1/3 is divided into two parts, one part is distributed to the institute and one part is rewarded to Mr. Belling's team. As for the honor of Minghe, of course, it will always belong to Dr. Belling, which is undoubtedly."
"Okay, let's finish it, it's over!" Joey clapped his hands and said with a relaxed look on his face.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess looked at each other, and then said in unison, "No, Joey, it's not over yet!"
