아프리카 국가들의 지식재산 현황 분석과 지식재산 개발협력 전략 연구

Abstract

As the influence of intellectual property on national economic development and industrial competitiveness grows, the need for intellectual property development cooperation to bridge the intellectual property gap between developed and developing countries and to support the creation, rights, and utilization of intellectual property in developing countries is increasing. In addition, intellectual property development cooperation is one of the most appropriate development cooperation fields to utilize Korea's experience and strengths as an advanced country in intellectual property. However, strategies and models for intellectual property development cooperation have not been clearly established. Therefore, in order to vitalize intellectual property development cooperation, it is necessary to first clarify the detailed areas and goals of intellectual property development cooperation. Furthermore, it is necessary to establish a method or system that presents priority sectors suitable for the current status and capabilities of each developing country. The main results of this study are as follows. First, 13 sectors of intellectual property development cooperation and goals for each sector are presented by comprehensively considering the characteristics of intellectual property activities and connectivity with the sustainable development goals(SDGs). Second, for 29 African countries, the degree of development and suitability level for each field of intellectual property development cooperation is calculated, and the priority sectors for intellectual property development cooperation for each country are derived.
