중소기업 기술침해 행위에 대한 행정조사제도 분석

Abstract

Today, the importance of protecting industrial technologies is increasing as the 4th Industrial Revolution converges and integrates each industry and expands advanced industrial technologies. With the launch of the government, the Small and Medium Business Administration has been promoted to the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, and various policies and systems are being implemented to protect the technology of SMEs. This study first considers domestic and foreign literatures such as current laws and systems related to SME technology protection and previous studies. At the same time, the government looked for ways to improve SME technology protection through interviews with experts from various governments, law enforcement agencies, media, and SME CEOs. Based on the experience and know-how of SMEs' technology protection experts, the government tried to draw up ways to improve laws and systems related to technology protection that can be effectively executed. In order to unify SME technology protection, it is necessary to amend the SME Technology Protection Act and establish a tentative SME Technology Protection Committee(Chairman: Minister of SMEs and Venture Companies), a control tower organization that can oversee policies. SMEs and venture companies should implement strict criminal punishment systems such as the Korean Intellectual Property Office and the Fair Trade Commission, introducing special police jurisdiction over technology infringement of SMEs. Throughout our society, the perception that“technological exploitation is a crime”should also spread. In the future, efforts should be made to find effective and practical policies and systems that can be felt in the SME field.
