Novelty at Work: The lived experience of Faculty Researchers in Intellectual Property Licensing
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Innovative Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 02
Abstract
This phenomenological study sought to uncover the lived experience of faculty researchers in Intellectual Property Licensing at the different campuses of the Laguna State Polytechnic University, the participants of which were purposively selected. As to the lived experiences of faculty researchers in Intellectual Property Licensing, it branched out to four thematic concepts of their shared reality. They are highlighted in the following: Theme 1: Protection of novelty; Theme 2: Technical and scientific writing as delayers; Theme 3: Budgetary requirements; and Theme 4: Tedious loops in procedure are all suggestive of the participants’ subsisting challenges in securing patent license and rights. These emergent themes touch on concepts of balance and improvement in research work specific to patent licensing. The participants believe that there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed in order for the patent licensing culture in their institutions to be fully recognized. As to how the faculty researchers cope up with the challenges and demands in Intellectual Property Licensing, two insightful themes emerged. Theme 5: Strategic partnerships and Theme 6: Personal badge of recognition implicate the participants’ innovative ways of complying with the stringent requirements of patent licensing. These themes suggest personal concepts of worth and professional growth and continuing cooperation with external parties in order to improve their own patent work. In view of these, it is highly recommended that the internal auditing of faculty researchers’ patent work be revisited. Procedural requirements should be reviewed as to address the need for faster reviewing of patent work and also to check on budgetary deficiencies that may arise from the coursework. Furthermore, extension services and collaboration with high-budget parties are encouraged to ease the burden of worrying for budgetary requirements. Mutual partnerships with organizations with similar interests in the researchers’ patent work are seen to boost not only the visibility of the academic institution but also the availability of resources which are needed to improve the patent work of the faculty researchers.
