O caso de gestão busca identificar as contribuições que a adoção de uma política de gestão de propriedade intelectual pode trazer para a transferência de tecnologia na UFJF e propor ferramentas a serem implementadas a esta política. Dentro desta perspectiva, para atingir os objetivos propostos foram analisadas as principais ferramentas estratégicas das políticas de gestão de propriedade intelectual utilizadas na Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) e Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), instituições estas que se destacam nos indicadores de inovação no estado de Minas Gerais, conforme demonstram os dados obtidos no Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial (INPI), no Ranking Universitário Folha (RUF) e na Rede Mineira de Propriedade Intelectual (RMPI). O estudo foi embasado em referências teóricas relativas à inovação, inovação tecnológica, transferência de tecnologia e propriedade intelectual. Com relação ao percurso metodológico foram adotadas as orientações qualitativa e quantitativa com a utilização de questionário e entrevista. O estudo apontou que uma política de gestão da propriedade intelectual pode contribuir efetivamente para a transferência de tecnologia de uma organização. Diante de tais resultados desenvolveu-se no terceiro capítulo deste trabalho um Plano de Ação, cujas propostas abarcam um conjunto de ferramentas estratégicas de gestão da propriedade intelectual, identificadas como boas práticas nas instituições analisadas, para o aprimoramento da transferência tecnologia na UFJF. / This dissertation was developed during the Professional Master Degree Program in Public Administration (PROFIAP) at the Faculty of Administration and Accounting Sciences of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (FACC / UFJF). The study seeks to identify the contributions that the creation of an intellectual property policy can bring to the technology transfer at UFJF and at the same time offers tools to be implemented in this policy. In this regard, in order to achieve the objectives of this study, the main strategic management tools of intellectual property policy used at the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) were analysed. These institutions stand out in the innovation indicators in the state of Minas Gerais, as shown by data obtained at the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), on the University Ranking Folha (RUF) and in the Minas Network of Intellectual Property (RMPI). The study was based on theoretical references regarding innovation, technological innovation, technology transfer and intellectual property. The methodology used had a qualitative and quantitative orientation with a questionnaire and interview. The study showed that an intellectual property policy can effectively contribute to the technology transfer of an organization. With such results, it was developed in the third chapter of this research an Action Plan, which propositions include a set of strategy tools for the management of intellectual property identified as good practices, at the analysed institutions, for the improvement of technology transfer at UFJF.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore what software evaluation methods are currently available that can assist organizations and companies in procuring a software solution for some particular task or purpose for a specific type of business. The thesis is based on a real-world scenario where a company, Volvo Technology Corporation (VTEC), is in the process of selecting a new intellectual property management system for their patent department. For them to make an informed decision as to which system to choose, an evaluation of market alternatives needs to be done. First, a set of software evaluation methods and techniques are chosen for further evaluation. An organizational study, by means of interviews where questions are based on the ISO 9126-1 Software quality model, is then conducted, eliciting user opinions about the current system and what improvements a future system should have. The candidate methods are then evaluated based on the results from the organizational study and other pertinent factors in order to reach a conclusion as to which method is best suited for this selection problem. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is deemed the best choice.

The share of patents held by the universities reflects the strength of technological research of any nation. Despite legislative encouragement provided in most countries for universities to patent their research, academic patents form only a small volume of patents filed in any country. Universities do not seem to patent most of their research. This situation is exacerbated in the case of India, where only 0.7% of the patents during the period 2003 – 05 were owned by the universities. This concern led to the current study of probing the patenting behaviour of faculty. From extant literature, we found that most of the research in academic patenting was either at university level or national level and the conclusions were based on econometric analyses of secondary data. A major limitation of those studies was that, they assume individual characteristics as constant. The contribution of this study is to relax the above mentioned assumption and focus on studying the impact of individual characteristics of faculty on their patenting behavior. The thesis has three main objectives, namely a. To develop a model of academic patenting behavior with academic inventors as the focus. b. To deduce individual characteristics that distinguishes an academic patentee from an academic non patentee. c. To provide insightful suggestions to administrators at universities for intellectual property management policies and practices, along with talent management practices to enable patenting behavior. We modeled patenting behavior at the individual level as being influenced by demographic variables such as designation, prior industrial experience and behavioral variables, namely, attitudes towards patenting, situational awareness of support for patenting, personality traits like resilience and creative personality traits and motives like monetary, fame and prosocial motives. Initially, eight academic patentees were interviewed to arrive at individual characteristics requiring study. We combined the behavioral characteristics derived from the content analysis of the initial study with our insights from the gaps in the existing literature and designed a questionnaire. The questionnaire aimed at measuring seven behavioral variables along with collecting information on demographic details. The seven behavioral variables included in our study are creative personality traits, resilience, attitudes towards patenting, situational awareness of support for patenting, monetary motives, fame motives and prosocial motives. The main study was conducted using survey research design. We contacted 1200 faculty from Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur initially through e-mail and later in person. We used data provided by a sample of 249 faculty members for the analyses. In the sample, 115 are academic-patentees and 134 are academic-non-patentees. We attempted to determine individual characteristics that distinguish an academic-patentee from an academic-non-patentee. The results from our study indicated that in academic patentees there was a statistically significant correlation between prosocial motive and situational awareness of support patenting. While in the case of academic non patentees, there was a significant correlation between fame motive and monetary motive. Using t-test, we were able to conclude that academic patentees differed significantly (p < 0.01) from academic non patentees in their attitude towards patenting and in their situational awareness of support for patenting. We found that both the academic patentees and academic non patentees were high in resilience and did not differ from each other significantly. When we looked into differences in motives we found that academic patentees differed significantly (p < 0.01) in their prosocial and monetary motives. Both the groups were high on fame motives and did not differ significantly from each other. Based on results of chi-square tests of the 28 creative personality traits, we could conclude that academic patentees differed significantly from academic non patentees (p < 0.01) in describing themselves as unconventional and inventive. We found that our model of patenting behavior that included demographic variables like age and prior industrial experience along with behavioral variables like attitudes towards patenting, situational awareness of support for patenting and being unconventional explained maximum variance (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.48). We were able to classify 78% of the sample correctly into academic patentees and academic non patentees. The Wald criterion demonstrated that all the predictors made significant contribution to prediction. We were able to establish the importance of predictors in determining patenting behavior. We found designation as the most important predictor among those included in our study. Other things being equal, the odds of a Professor or an Associate Professor being a patentee was 5.6 times more than those of an Assistant Professor. We found the creative personality trait “unconventional” as the second most important predictor. The odds of faculty who describe themselves as “unconventional”, being a patentee was 4.5 times more than those who do not describe themselves as unconventional. The third important predictor was prior industrial experience (odds ratio: 1.9), the fourth and the fifth being situational awareness of support for patenting (odds ratio: 1.3) and attitudes towards patenting (odds ratio: 1.2), respectively. Thus to conclude, we found that both demographic and behavioral factors influence the patenting behavior. Our revised model of academic patenting indicates that two types of advantages have positive influence on academic patenting behavior at the individual level. We named them as experience advantage and psychological advantage. Experience advantage is gained as a result of increased academic experience and increased industrial experience. The psychological advantage results when an academic inventor, as an individual is “unconventional”, has positive attitude towards patenting and is aware about support available for patenting to a large extent. Based on our research, we suggest intellectual property management practices and talent management practices that are likely to increase the patenting behavior of academic inventors. Attitude towards patenting can be improved by making patenting experience more positive and by providing more assistance for patenting through the Intellectual Property Cell / Technology Transfer Office. Increasing awareness of support for patenting can be promoted by making available information on government funding agencies and industrial partners who would support in patent filing and in commercializing patents. Such information not only prevents the pile up of unutilized academic patents but also encourages the faculty to continue to engage in patenting behavior. Academic patenting behavior can also be facilitated through promoting organizational culture that encourages their members to be “unconventional”. The limitations of the study and suggested future research are also described in the thesis.

This theses mainly focuses on development of information system for a facility management company. It explores processes in the property management business and possibilities of its facilitation by software applications that are mainly within the tasks of a technical nature. The origin of the paper lies in the process analysis of Vaše domy Ltd. which had been started earlier on. The thesis follows up with more detailed study of client request processing. The goals of the paper are: specifying company's requirements for an application software, analysing the current market situation in the field and finally it covers design and implementation of a unique software solution.

The doctrine of intellectual property is based on the assumption that the exclusivity to commercialize a novel product granted to an inventor creates incentives to conduct research. In some areas, however, intellectual property can constitute a barrier to development of social welfare. In the area of access to medicines in developing countries, the intellectual property-related problem can take two forms. When needed products are not being developed and thus do not exist, lack of availability occurs. Lack of accessibility, on the other hand, arises when necessary medicines do exist, but their prices are prohibitive for people from resource-poor countries. Based on a detailed analysis of the patent and trade environment in the pharmaceutical sector, the thesis examines the potential of patent pooling as a joint intellectual property management strategy to increase access to medicines within the existing international intellectual property system. Particularly, it analyzes the effects of an existing pharmaceutical pool, the Medicines Patent Pool, on accessibility of antiretroviral medicines in low and middle income countries.

This diploma thesis deals with issues of distraint by sale of property and by property management which represent two kinds of distraint with important impacts on debtor's proprietary rights. The diploma thesis is divided into four chapters complemented by introduction and conclusion. The first chapter deals with distraint order in a general way and also examines the term "real estate" in the context of the recent recodification of the civil law. The second chapter explains phases of distraint by sale of property and by property management from the initiation of the distraint order to the delivery of warrant of distress. Next third chapter deals closely with the distraint by sale of property and its particularities and the final chapter analyses in a similar way the distraint by property management.

Majoriteten av Sveriges vägnät består av enskilda vägar. Dessa utgörs vanligtvis av en gemensamhetsanläggning som förvaltas av en samfällighetsförening och som är gemensam egendom för de fastigheter som ingår i gemensamhetsanläggningen. De ingående fastigheterna åsätts andelstal som anger den andel som varje fastighet ska betala för drift och underhåll av anläggningen. Det kan uppstå situationer där förhållandena för de ingående fastigheterna ändras. Exempelvis genom att en obebyggd fastighet bebyggs, en väg får en ny sträckning eller att en fastighet ändrar användningssätt. Detta ändrade förhållande medför att andelstalet som gäller för berörd fastighet kan komma att behöva justeras för att motsvara de nya förhållandena. Syftet med detta arbete är att ta reda på hur ändringar av andelstal hanteras av samfällighetsföreningar som förvaltar enskilda vägar samt om ändringarna sker inom ramen för reglerna i anläggningslagen. Målet med studien blir därmed att utforska i vilken utsträckning samfällighetsföreningarna kontaktat Lantmäteriet för att av dem få de nya andelstalen införda i fastighetsregistret. För att besvara studiens frågeställningar har en enkätundersökning genomförts. Enkäten skickades ut till registrerade medlemmar i intresseorganisationen Riksförbundet Enskilda Vägars medlemsregister i Uppsala län och Gävleborgs län. Resultatet av studien visar på att majoriteten av samfällighetsföreningarna som deltagit i enkäten erhåller bidrag, som tycks vara ett incitament till att föreningarna i viss utsträckning inte fastställer korrekta andelstal. Studien visar att de föreningar som får fastställa andelstalen med stöd av 24 a § anläggningslagen (styrelsebeslut) samt de som tillämpat 43 § anläggningslagen (överenskommelse), det vill säga på annat sätt än genom 35 § anläggningslagen (omprövningsförrättning) vid fastställande av nya andelstal, att 49,1 procent inte har anmält ändringen till Lantmäteriet för registrering i fastighetsregistret. 58,3 procent av de som tillämpat 43 § anläggningslagen har inte anmält beslutet till Lantmäteriet för prövning och godkännande. Detta ifrågasätter informationens tillförlitlighet gällande andelstalen som framgår i fastighetsregistret. Resultatet visar också att fastställandet av nya andelstal inte alltid sker med stöd av tillämpliga metoder enligt anläggningslagen samt att orsaken till varför omprövningsförrättning enligt huvudregeln i 35 § anläggningslagen inte tillämpats, ska i huvudsak bero på kostnaden det medför. Studien visar också på att det nuvarande systemet för fastställande av andelstal inte fungerar på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Majoriteten av respondenterna önskar att föreningen själv ska kunna ändra andelstalen, men uppfattningarna om hur fastställandet ska gå till skiljer sig åt bland föreningarna. / The majority of Sweden's road network consists of private roads. These are usually commons, a jointly held system called a joint facility which is managed by a joint property management association. The properties included in the facility are assigned a participatory share figure that specifies the proportion of which each property will pay for management and maintenance of the facility. There may be situations where the conditions for the including properties of the facility change. For example, by building an undeveloped property, a road gets a new stretch, or property changes its way of use. This changed situation means that the participatory share figure may need to be adjusted to correspond to the new conditions. The aim of this study is to find out how changes of participatory share figures are handled by the joint property management association that manages private roads as well as whether the changes are made within the framework of the rules of the Joint Property Act. The goal of the study is thus to explore the extent to which the joint property management association contacted Lantmäteriet (the Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority) to get the new figures registered in the real property register. To answer the questions of the study a web-based survey was conducted and sent to members of the Swedish Private Road Association. Members from Uppsala County and Gävleborg County were asked to participate. The study shows that the majority of the joint property management associations are receiving subsidies, which seems to be an incentive for the associations to a certain extent not to determine the correct participatory share figures. The study shows that the associations that are allowed to determine the participatory share figures based on 24 a § of the Joint Property Act and those who have applied 43 § of the Joint Property Act, namely another method than reconsider according to 35 § of the Joint Property Act, that 49,1 per cent have not contacted Lantmäteriet for registration of the new participatory share figures in the real property register. 58,3 per cent of those who applied 43 § of the Joint Property Act have not notified Lantmäteriet for a review and approval of the agreement, according to the law. This questions the reliability of the information regarding the participatory share figures in the real property register. The result also shows that the determination of new participatory share figures is not always based on applicable methods according to the law. A reason why the reconsider method was not used, was mainly due to the cost it entails. The study also shows that the current system for determining participatory share figures does not work satisfactorily. There is a wish among the associations that they would be able to change the share figures themselves, but how, that opinion differs among the associations.

Denna studie utgör ett examensarbete på kandidatnivå vid Lantmätarprogrammet med ekonomisk/juridisk inriktning på Högskolan i Gävle.  Kommuner i Sverige förvaltar och bekostar väghållningen av enskilda vägar frivilligt, trots att det ansvaret egentligen ska vara ålagt fastighetsägarna. En av orsakerna till att det förekommer är de stora kommunsammanslagningarna som ägde rum på 60- och 70-talet, som gjorde att de kvarvarande kommunerna tog över förvaltningen av de enskilda vägarna. Över tid kan kommuner besluta att återlämna dessa frivilligt förvaltade enskilda vägar till fastighetsägarna. Återlämnandet sker genom anläggningsförrättningar för att säkerställa en långsiktigt fungerande förvaltning. Syftet med denna studie är att utreda anläggningsförrättningar som skett avseende övergångar från kommunal till enskild förvaltning av enskilda vägar. Målet är att få fram ett kunskapsunderlag, som svenska kommuner och lantmäterimyndigheter i förrättningsprocesser kan förhålla sig till, gällande enskilda vägar som tidigare haft kommunal förvaltning. För att uppnå syftet och målet har fem sakkunniga och fem samfällighetsföreningar intervjuats. Dessa intervjuer ger värdefull information från såväl experter i ämnet som från fastighetsägare intill vägen. Fem förrättningsakter har granskats för att ge en djupare förståelse för förrättningsprocessen och för att komplettera intervjuerna.  Det framgår av studien att väghållningen, i de granskade och intervjuade fallen, oftast blir bättre när en enskild väg övergår från kommunal till enskild förvaltning. Ibland kvarstår det dock irritationer hos fastighetsägarna efter förrättningsprocessens avslutande, men detta har inte visats kunna påverka väghållningen negativt. För att åstadkomma en smidig förrättningsprocess som möjliggör en ändamålsenlig förvaltning bör kommunerna bistå fastighetsägarna i ansökningsskedet. Som utgångspunkt bör den statliga lantmäterimyndigheten handlägga denna typ av ärenden, även om det finns en kommunal lantmäterimyndighet att tillgå, för att uppnå en bättre objektivitet och neutralitet. Slutligen är det viktigt att förrättningsprocessen präglas av kommunikation, dialog och tydlighet, för att på så sätt få fastighetsägarna införstådda i situationen. / This study is a bachelor thesis at the Study Programme in Land Management with financial/legal orientation at the University of Gävle.  Municipalities in Sweden are voluntarily responsible for road maintenance and financing of private roads, even though the actual responsibility is imposed on the property owners. One of the reasons behind these occurrences is the mergers of the municipalities that took place in the sixties and seventies, which made the remaining municipalities take over the management of the private roads. Over the decades, municipalities may decide to return these voluntarily managed private roads to the property owners. The returning of these private roads to the property owners is done through facility procedures to secure a long-lasting road maintenance.  The aim of this study is to investigate these types of facility procedures that have occurred in reference to transitions from municipal to private management of private roads. The objective is to create a base of knowledge that the Swedish municipalities and cadastral authorities can use when working with these kinds of phenomenon. To reach the aim and objective, interviews have been done with five experts in the field and with five joint property management associations. These interviews provide valuable information from both experts and property owners. Five cadastral dossiers have been analysed to give a deeper understanding of the cadastral process and to supplement the interviews.  The study shows that the road maintenance, in the analysed and the interviewed cases, often gets better when a private road’s management transfers from municipal to private. The property owners sometimes remain frustrated after the ending of the cadastral process, but this frustration has not been shown to affect the road maintenance in a negative way. In order to achieve a smooth cadastral process that leads to an appropriate management, the municipalities should assist the property owners with the application. As a starting point, the State cadastral authority should handle these types of cases to achieve better objectivity and neutrality, even though there is a municipal cadastral authority available. It is at last important that the cadastral process include communication, dialogue and clarity, and by doing so making the property owners aware of the situation.
