Abstract

This these is a study on an university invention which is result from research in university There had been many controversies about whether the invention of members of university could be considered as in-service invention, and generally, enactments of many countries considered it as private invention. However, even Germany which was clarifying that the invention of members of university is private one in principle through employee invention law revised the law on January 18, 2002 and minimize academic freedom giving right compensation to the inventor. In the USA, it is traditional practice that university invention is handed over to university by contract between university and professor. In the meantime, Japan that selected intellectual property by the means of country competitive power recovery recently is planing acquisition of basic invention through research at university. Considering the situation that Korea is in the red in technology trade market and royalty against abroad company is increasing rapidly, it is preferable for us to improve compensation system of in-service invention rather than to insist that university invention is private one based on an idea of “Academic freedom.”
