Abstract:The paper firstly summarizes the Intellectual Property（IP）management of key international institutes and universities. Most of the key foreign research institutions and universities have set up IP management organizations integrating functions of IP management and those of technology transfer and investment. They have formed three kinds of IP management models which include model of wholly owned company, model of Office of Technology Transfer（OTT）or Office of Technology License（OTL）, and model of internal OTT plus external technology transfer company. They have formulated rational IP income allocation policies. They also have established a high level talent team in terms of knowledge and ability and a relatively standardized IP management process. To strengthen IP management of China’s research institutions and universities, it is necessary to learn from foreign experiences and draw up relevant policies including establishing IP management organizational system, optimizing IP management model, consummating IP income allocation policies, and culturing IP management talent team.
