Abstract:
Objective:Taking the experience of patent and achievement transformation management at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine as a reference, to explore the innovative strategies for hospital intellectual property and achievement transformation management.Methods:An in-depth statistical analysis was conducted on the patent authorization, maintenance, and transformation data of the institute since its inception, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of patent management and achievement transformation, identify prevalent issues, and propose potential solutions.Results:The maintenance rates of invention patents and utility model patents within 5 years were 92.31% and 88.24% respectively, while the conversion rates were 3.92% and 0.56% respectively, with an average duration of maintenance of 3.06 years and 2.99 years. All expired invention patents were terminated due to unpaid annual fees. By 2033, the cost of maintaining all patents at the institute is expected to rise from 20 000 yuan in 2023 to 35 400 yuan.Conclusions:The key challenges in managing scientific and technological achievements at the institute include low patent maintenance rates, limited achievement transformation, and the absence of registered technology licenses. In the future, it is suggested to enhance the support for patent application and maintenance, promote scientific and technological achievement transformation, ensure effective technology license registration and filing, gradually cultivate a positive atmosphere for intellectual property and achievement transformation, cultivate high-value patents, and prioritize effective achievement transformation.
