Due to the need for scientific research, after it has been approved  by the academic and research institute where the researcher works , he/she can work part-time for the jobs below:

1. A post of non-operational work in a relevant research field;
2. The main R&D technology provider of a startup or the board member.

The Derivative Startup Project Committee will evaluate suitability, efficacy, and feasibility of a startup, and determine the technical price and matters related to contribution to the University of the derivative startup.

The derivative startup meeting is convened quarterly; please see the webpage for the process.

For presence qualification, please see the webpage.

*The establishment purpose of the incubator is to consult startups and is not for companies that would like to lease office space.

For startups now present at the Xi-Dao Incubator, they can register their offices with the address of the incubator but this is not applicable for those present at other incubators.

The Center consists of four incubators, Xuefu, Si-Soft, CPT Building and BoAi Bio, which are established to provide different services and thus, they have different charge standards. For more information, please see the Webpage and Attachment 1 “NYCU Presence Charge Standards” downloaded from “Points Governing the Implementation of Operational Management of Innovative Startup Incubators of the NYCU.”

For the presence process, please see the Webpage. We welcome you to contact managers at the incubators for pre-talks and initial evaluations. After the application is approved and document evaluation is ratified, we will invite you to come to the evaluation meeting with your documents. Then, when an approval is granted, you can prepare for the signing of the incubation agreement. It will take about three weeks from the document evaluation to the convening of the evaluation meeting.

This can be done at BoAi Bio incubator. Please contact and discuss with our staff via yenlinghsu@nycu.edu.tw，(03)571-2121#53252.

What is R&D result licensing? What is the difference between this and early-stage technology transfers?

Early-stage technology transfers: Objects that businesses would like to cooperate with but at present without completed results can only jointly research and develop with enterprises via industry-academia cooperation.

Technology transfer projects have different considerations for technologies, products, industrial characteristics and therefore, there are different licensing conditions. The basic principle is user paid, and uses non-inclusive licensing.
Loyalty: It mainly considers costs and marketability (for example, production value of future or relevant products).
Derivative loyalty: After a product is launched, derivative loyalty will be paid with a certain percentage of the total sales amount. If the PLC is long or the market share is high, then a certain percentage of the total sales amount is suggested to be used as the basis for derivative loyalty.

If it is the result of a MOST project, please provide the approved list of expenses; for projects of MOEA or others, please provide sealed contracts. No documents need to be attached for results not produced by any projects.

Oral defense of a thesis is regarded as publication. It will be given a one year novelty grievance when applying for the ROC and US patent, but in other countries, publication means the invalidity of the novelty. It is suggested that if an oral defense of a thesis is conducted before the patent application, to please ask participants and reviewers of the oral exam to sign the Confidential Consent Form for Participants in Oral Examination of Academic Dissertations  (Industry-Academia Collaboration>Industry and Academia Cooperation Related Attachment) ; the e-file or paper copy of the thesis shall be postponed for publication;  please ask the library to remove the abstract from publication.

At present, the University’s evaluation commission only approved full grants for patent applications in the ROC and the US. For applications filed in other countries, the applicant shall share R&D results of patent applications with the University in a proportion according to the Rules Governing the Evaluation of R&D Results.

If the application is sent to the Evaluation Committee, then after the application is approved, a patent application will be provided by offices which are at present incorporating with the University for labor procurement. If the Inventor would like to bear the cost on their own, they can independently look for the firm.

In addition to the University’s patent initiation information, a photocopy of the signed agreement and the joint application form are required.

Basically, allocation of technology transfer loyalty is decided by the technology transfer agreement.

1. Leftover funding of projects
2. General Expenses for the Ministry of Science and Technology Project, the MST, (They must be the R&D results of the MST projects and when writing off, the funding source from the MST must be noted.)
3. Other funding sources must comply with the rules of the Accounting and Statistics Office.

When writing off the said expenses, please cite the project numbers of NYCU.

To avoid injustice during evaluation, the technical advisor shall not be the co-convener of the same project.

If  the loyalty is of an early-stage technology transfer MOST project, then initially, the loyalty needs to be declared in the application made to MOST and the expense shall be approved by them as a non-industry-academia cooperative MOST project. If the R&D results of an industry-academia cooperative project is owned independently by a business, then  an amount of no less than 15% of the research expenses plus the loyalty of an early-stage technology transfer will be allocated to the project convener according to the Rules Governing Technology Transfers of the NYCU.

According to the MOE, if any school would like to conduct industry-academia cooperation, it shall sign a written contract with the organization with whom they are in cooperation and regulate the item below: “When a cooperative institution requires the school to present and guarantee a licensed technology and other matters do not cause infringement to others, the scope of compensation taken by the school shall be specified when an infringement occurs.

Additionally, according to the minutes of the administrative meeting of the University, for the responsibility of intentional or major faults, no pre-exclusion is allowed and the maximum amount of compensation shall be decided according to the practical situation.
