Reborn Technology Scholar

The end of this interview also means that Qin Yuanqing has officially started working. Other research institutions will also gradually resume work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the regulations of each institution basically have some flexibility. Some are on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and some are on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, there will basically be no research institutions beyond the tenth day of the lunar month.

As for the teachers who teach, they will not resume work until the 17th day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival, while students will basically return to school and resume classes on the 22nd day of the first lunar month.

"Principal, Director Han called to ask if you have time in the afternoon. He has work to report to you." On the seventh day of the lunar month, the office staff asked.

Qin Yuanqing nodded and said, "Okay, let him come over at three in the afternoon."

Director Han is the director of the Technology Transfer Center of Shuimu University.

For a long time, the state has supported universities to carry out scientific research activities, and a simple employment relationship has been formed between the government and university scientists.

The government provides funding, and scientists make inventions, apply for patents, and publish articles, which is considered a job.

After handing over the assignment, the scientists apply for the next government grant, and then make new inventions, and then the cycle begins again.

As of 2005, the country found that this operation was not possible, and the patent conversion rate was only 5%. Not to mention compared with the United States, even compared with Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, France, and Australia, it was still lagging behind.

So there was the Chinese version of the Bayh-Dole Act, the Scientific Progress Act.

Officially implemented on July 1, 2008, the purpose is to promote scientific and technological progress, give full play to the role of science and technology as the primary productive force, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, and promote science and technology to serve economic construction and social development. At the same time, it also ensures scientific

Freedom of technological research and development, encouraging scientific exploration and technological innovation, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of scientific and technical personnel.

For this reason, almost every university has established a technology transfer center. For example, the technology transfer center of Shuimu University is an internal service department that provides professional legal knowledge in patent applications, intellectual property protection, technology transfer, etc.

Shuimu’s scientists and research team.

Externally, they represent Yanda, and they also rely on professional legal means to negotiate with enterprises and ultimately facilitate the patent development rights transaction.

Scientists are not necessarily proficient in patent laws. In actual work, front-line scientific researchers often have a one-sided understanding of patents and even make some mistakes.

For example, if you don’t understand the know-how of patent application and how to use patents to protect your innovations, the scope of claims you submit for patent applications is generally very small, and many times there is only one independent claim.

Precisely because of lack of professionalism in the legal field, it was a common phenomenon in the past for patent inventors and enterprises to argue with each other.

Companies often say that inventors are dishonest and the patents they buy have no practical value at all. Inventors complain that companies do not respect intellectual property rights and have no credibility. The companies do not pay the license fees based on sales commissions.

The technology transfer centers of universities are here for this purpose. It can be said that it is of great benefit to universities and their scientific researchers and scientific research teams without any harm!

Qin Yuanqing has been in Shuimu for so many years, and he is very clear about the details. For example, when Shuimu University cooperated with Warwick to develop smartphones, the technological inventions were shared by both parties. After the cooperation was finalized, the Technology Transfer Center entered into a cooperation agreement with Warwick, etc.

This allowed Mizuki to always profit from related technologies. Even now, the fees received from Warwick are still the bulk of Mizuki's annual income.

When conducting R&D within a school, applying for a patent is very complicated. If you use the school's scientific research funds and resources, the patent does not belong to the individual, but to the school. If you use your own resources, you do not need to use the school's scientific research funds.

Patents belong to individuals or teams. In this regard, the Technology Transfer Center is also professional and will make professional rulings.

Of course, Shuimu University has continuously encouraged students to innovate and start businesses over the years, and even provides scientific research funds and initial capital for entrepreneurship. As long as an agreement is signed at the beginning, Shuimu University will also support it in the form of occupying part of the equity. And this measure,

It also made Shuimu gain a lot.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Director Han came to the office on time. Qin Yuanqing had already boiled water and had just made tea.

"Principal!" Director Han came in, a little cautious.

"Come, Director Han, sit down. I just made tea. Let's try the tea from my hometown!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Director Han is a patent expert specially hired by Shuimu. Under his management, the Technology Patent Center of Shuimu University has made outstanding contributions to Shuimu over the years.

Director Han drank some tea and muttered to himself. It seemed that the rumors were indeed true. The principal was really a tea lover and liked drinking tea.

In fact, he had relatively little contact with Qin Yuanqing in the past, because the Automobile Research Institute, the Aero Engine Research Institute and later the laboratory were all very special existences in Shuimu. They were very independent. The leader was not the school, but the

Qin Yuanqing and Qin Yuanqing have 100% management and processing rights. These three scientific research units have departments dedicated to applying for patents and managing patents. They do not even need to work hard to find corporate cooperation like the Technology Patent Center.

, all it takes is a little bit of news, and some big companies are vying to get the right to use the patent.

Last time, the laboratory made a major breakthrough in myocarditis. Ten major pharmaceutical companies came to visit, but they were all rejected. The news spread throughout the country.

Director Han drank some tea and then took the initiative to say: "Principal, last year our Shuimu technology licensing income, excluding the Automotive Research Institute, Aero Engine Research Institute, and Qin Yuanqing Laboratory, received a total of 38.9 billion yuan, of which Warwick was the bulk, accounting for

28.7 billion yuan!"

Qin Yuanqing nodded. After taking over Shuimu, Qin Yuanqing already knew that Principal Chen used to come to him from time to time to complain about his poverty. In fact, Shuimu was really rich. There was a large amount of money lying in his account. He was definitely the richest man in China and even the world.

Rich universities have more than 100 billion in their accounts.

This year, the school funding allocated to Shuimu by superiors reached 27.6 billion yuan, exceeding Zhejiang University’s 19.192 billion yuan and Yan University’s 18.917 billion yuan.

Of course, with the Shahe campus completed and put into use, Shuimu University's expenses are also the largest among universities in the country. After all, water bills, electricity bills, purchase of books, purchase of experimental equipment or teaching equipment, bonuses and benefits for faculty and staff, on average, daily expenses are

It's over 100 million yuan.

"According to the current situation, the existing personnel of the Technology Transfer Center are no longer enough to cope with the growing business. This time I came to the principal to report the work, and the school needs the consent of the center to increase the number of 10 people!" Director Han said.

"Director Han, please list the recruitment requirements and number of people, and send them to Xu Jiayi when the time comes. I will discuss them at the meeting tomorrow." Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly and said.

An industry needs healthy and rapid development, and systems and talents are the most important indicators!

Of course, Qin Yuanqing would not directly agree to a situation like this, because recruiting like this requires going through some procedures. After all, not all of Shuimu's faculty and staff are paid by themselves, and some are paid by the state.

Although the part of the salary paid by the state has become insignificant under the current Shuimu salary system, we should still respect what should be respected.

After Director Han left, Qin Yuanqing looked thoughtful. After knowing that there was such a large amount of money lying in Shuimu's account, Qin Yuanqing was ready to move. What he wanted to do most next was two things. One thing

It is an alliance of twenty-two schools to promote the reform and development of universities and promote the progress of higher education in China. Another thing is about the construction of medical schools and affiliated hospitals.

Because of the original university merger, the medical school of Shuimu University was not very strong, and there were only a handful of affiliated hospitals. Unlike Fudan University, which has 16 affiliated hospitals, they are basically tertiary hospitals, spread across major cities in China. However, Shuimu University has 16 affiliated hospitals.

There are only a pitiful four universities, and they are all in Beijing, and there is not a single top-level hospital.

Regarding the development of medical care in China, Qin Yuanqing is also very concerned about it. Although the difficulty of medical treatment is no longer as prominent as before, a new problem has emerged now, that is, medical treatment is expensive. To be honest, Qin Yuanqing still misses it. He was not afraid to go there before.

Back in the hospital, unlike now, going to the hospital was like having a leek cut, all kinds of examinations, all kinds of medicines, and a trip for a cold would cost hundreds of dollars.

Moreover, there is another very important reason why Qin Yuanqing wants to develop medical schools and affiliated hospitals, that is, with the continuous research of the life laboratory, more and more results will be produced, and this aspect also requires cooperation and practice from the hospital.

As for the construction of the hospital, Qin Yuanqing doesn't think it is a problem. With enough money, he can recruit a group of doctors with superb medical skills from overseas, update the hospital's instruments and equipment, and strengthen talent training and system construction. Although there is no such thing as

It is a top three hospital, but I believe that within a few years, the hospital will be improved by leaps and bounds. By then, the top three hospitals will just be a matter of course.

As for the expansion of affiliated hospitals, that is even simpler. As long as the hospital develops and grows to be the best in the industry, it is not too simple to cooperate with local municipal hospitals or build new hospitals. Which place does not welcome a strong hospital?

Know that medical resources are very valuable resources in today's era.

Qin Yuanqing felt that as long as medicine could be developed and expanded, it would be completely worth investing hundreds of billions, which was better than investing money in aesthetics. Qin Yuanqing had never been there and had even taken steps to cancel the department. As long as he

Thinking of it, he couldn't help but think of zombie faces and the like. Anyway, he couldn't appreciate that kind of beauty.

Qin Yuanqing returned to his desk, took out his notes from the drawer, and wrote them down.
