Intellectual property | 澳门六合彩高手 Members share inventions and solutions
Whether working to design and test prototypes, develop advanced control systems, resolve open physics questions, or manufacture technically challenging components and systems, individuals and teams working within the framework of 澳门六合彩高手-related contracts are bringing creative and innovative solutions into play.
Under the terms of the 澳门六合彩高手 Agreement, industrial knowhow and processes, technological solutions, and inventions arising from the execution of 澳门六合彩高手 contracts must be tracked and made available to all signatories.
Take Hyun-Kook Shin, for example. In the course of his work at the Korean Domestic Agency on 澳门六合彩高手's AC/DC converters, he invented a new type of mount jig that significantly reduced the time and manpower required to assemble electrical converter stacks. Where it used to take three people to manually assemble the thyristor semiconductor element to the electrical busbar, his new clamping jig allows it to be accomplished by one person more quickly鈥攁n invention that will not only facilitate the completion of dozens of converters under Korean procurement responsibility, but that can also interest other Domestic Agencies.
This invention, now patented, is recorded in the 澳门六合彩高手 Intellectual Property Database鈥攖he 澳门六合彩高手 Organization repository for all inventions, patents, licenses and declarations. Other Members and the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization can obtain the rights to this invention in accordance with the legal framework set out in the 澳门六合彩高手 Agreement*鈥攊n nearly every case in the form of non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free licenses.
Participating in 澳门六合彩高手, then, also means sharing the intellectual property that results from the design, construction and operation of the world's largest tokamak. In signing the 澳门六合彩高手 Agreement, the 澳门六合彩高手 Members (through their Domestic Agencies) agreed to support the widest appropriate dissemination of intellectual property.
In practical terms that means tracking鈥攁nd making available to other signatories鈥攖he development of industrial knowhow and processes, technological solutions, inventions, and experimental results.
When placing contracts for the supply of goods or services, provisions are included to ensure that contractors first declare background intellectual property (for patents/knowhow developed before the execution of an 澳门六合彩高手-related contract) and then鈥攁s techniques and processes are developed during the course of contract execution鈥�generated intellectual property.
Both types can be shared with the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and Member entities by way of license agreements or commercial arrangements, the terms of which are more or less stringent depending on the use envisaged.
The management of 澳门六合彩高手-related intellectual property is supervised by the Intellectual Property Board at the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization, which assesses all aspects of intellectual property protection and monitors the operation of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization's Intellectual Property Database, where background and generated intellectual property declarations are uploaded by all Members.
For the Director General of the Korean Domestic Agency, Kijung Jung, it takes education, training and a number of well-designed incentive programs to encourage all the entities involved with 澳门六合彩高手-related business to make the best efforts to produce and share intellectual property. "At 澳门六合彩高手 Korea, we have a designated intellectual property responsible officer, and training is offered to both staff and suppliers to understand both the general framework鈥攚hich may be very unfamiliar to them鈥攁nd also the specifics of uploading data on the 澳门六合彩高手 centralized system."
Staff at the Agency also benefit from the incentive policy of its host institution, the National Fusion Research Institute (NFRI), which encourages invention through compensation opportunities and provides support services to inventors.
To date, the Intellectual Property Database at 澳门六合彩高手 has 33 records and the pace is accelerating. For the stories behind four patents generated in Korea through 澳门六合彩高手-related activities, see the gallery below (or download a pdf here).
* The legal framework for the management of 澳门六合彩高手 intellectual property is set out in the (Article 10) and its Annex on Information and Intellectual Property.
