Abstract

This research analyzes how to increase the efficiency of the research commercialization process of Thammasat University. This research is qualitative research which studied the case study of Thammasat University consisting of 2 researchers, 2 officers of the Center of Intellectual Property and Business Incubator, and 1 entrepreneur. The research process comprises of three stages: 1) Reviewing the literature. 2) Conducting the empirical study by an in-depth interview with stakeholders. 3) Analyzing and concluding by using content analysis. The research found that Thammasat University has a research commercialization process in the form of a collaboration of three divisions; researchers, the Center of Intellectual Property and Business Incubator and entrepreneurs who have been supervised by "Thammasat University Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights and the Provision of Benefits from Intellectual Property of Thammasat University, 2018", These regulations consist of four chapters, namely; Chapter 1 Intellectual Property of the University, Chapter 2 Intellectual Property Management, Chapter 3 Exploitation of Intellectual Property of The University and, Chapter 4 Allocation or Sharing of Benefits. In some cases of the regulations, those who are involved may not have knowledge or understanding or may not be consistent in practice. Therefore, the university may provide knowledge to the researchers or those who are involved in the university’s regulations related to the research commercialization in each related category. As well as providing knowledge on intellectual property law, patent law, including regulations or guidelines for the Thammasat University's research commercialization to be clear and consistent with the practice to provide guidelines for those involved. In order to further enhance the university's research commercialization.
