Project title: Analysis of the supportive environment for effective management and exploitation of intellectual property in Slovenia
Project acronym: CRP-IL
Project coordinator: Rudolfovo - Science and Technology Centre Novo mesto
Partner: "Jožef Stefan" Institute
Project value: 90.000,00 EUR
Project leader: doc. dr. Ana Hafner(ana.hafner@rudolfovo.eu)
Short description of the project:
The aim of the research project is to analyse and improve the support environment for intellectual property (IP) in Slovenia. The project is divided into five work streams (WSS). First, we want to gain a comprehensive insight into the current state of IP management and exploitation in Slovenia, to review the existing research in this field and to make some analyses in the field of industrial property. We will then embark on an empirical study to analyse the needs of IP creators (researchers, developers, inventors and other creators of intellectual works) and the role and competences of support organisations. We then intend to review successful IP management practices in different countries, which will contribute to the development of strategic models for standardised IP management and use in Slovenia, tailored to key actors such as universities, research institutes and companies. Key contributions of the project include understanding the IP ecosystem by highlighting its shortcomings, identifying best practices from innovation-successful countries and developing guidelines for standardised IP management and evaluation.
