| 抄録 | From the perspectives of freeing Japan from its long-term economic recession and of strength-ening Japan’s international competitive prowess, etc., various types of laws have been promulgated with the aim of strengthening industry-government-academic collaborations, chiefly in the research and development field. Such laws include, among others, the Law for Promoting University-Industry Technology Transfers and Article 30 of the Law on Special Measures for Industrial Revitalization (this is known as the “Japanese version of the Bayh-Dole Act”). Thus, a new movement is now underway to tear down the pre-existing structure. However, when one views this trend from the perspective of industry itself, there still remain numerous issues which are thought to require radical improvements. Especially problematic is the is-sue of the assignment (reversion) of results of joint research between the national government and pri-vate enterprise and of research consigned to the national government by private enterprise—especially as this is an issue that is not covered by the Japanese Bayh-Dole Act. In terms of results assignment, one observes in actual practice what one could call an “inversion phenomenon,” specifically when one compares the results-assignment status in the above-listed situations with how results assignments are handled in the case of research consigned to private enterprise by the government. Further, in regards to the framework for, and operation of, Technology Licensing Organizations (TLOs) at universities, etc., as of the current date, there exist slight (but important) differences, in portions that are fundamental, between the Japanese reality and that existing in Western countries (Europe and North America). This is especially problematic, in that these Western countries are in-tended to serve as the model for the Japanese TLO. Thus, required also is an investigation regarding radical structural improvements to the TLO to enable it to fully serve its intended functions. Into the future, with the aim of establishing a closely linked cooperative relationship in re-search that is fully workable, and that can be fully engaged in, by industry, government and academia on the basis of their own (respective) ordinary perspectives and opinions, it is the goal of this report to suggest improvements concerning rights-attribution and the actual practice of collaborative research and consigned research undertaken in industry-government-academic collaborations. It is desired that this report serve as one link in the positive and vigorous communication of information from the in-dustry side. |
