Abstract:To promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is one of the key points of China’s national science and technology innovation policy. Nevertheless, due to the particularity, complexity, and professionalism of technological achievements, being difficult to transform scientific and technological achievements is a worldwide common problem. There are many issues worth discussing and exploring in China’s transformation of scientific and technological achievements, especially when it comes to whether research institutes can transform their achievements by establishing enterprises, the answers remain controversial. The authors intend to take the field of information technology as an example, by analyzing the advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scenarios of several main forms of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, such as intellectual property rights licensing or transferring, industry-university-institute cooperation, and spin offs, to give some opinions on this issue.
