RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

Matching between seeds of technology studied/developed and needs required by an enterprise is found and the technology as the study result is transferred. A processing unit discloses technology seeds information including a study/development plan, study result, expected result, study cost, balance, and the like via a communication network (S101). Upon reception of a contract application from a development institution, the processing unit inputs contract application information (S103, S105). The processing unit identifies the application type: an information disclosure contract which discloses detailed study result information to an enterprise, or an option contract which gives an optional right enabling an enterprise to carry out the study result with a predetermined time limit before the contract, or a development contract which gives right to develop the technology obtained by the study result, and performs a contract processing corresponding to the application type (S107 to S113). Moreover, the processing unit performs calculation for dividing the consideration obtained by the technology transfer to a study institution and a study/development fixing institution (S117) and stores it in a storage unit (S119).
