Collaborative research agreements in industry and between industry and university partners have grown rapidly since the early 1980s, encouraged by numerous factors including the pace of competition and Federal policy. Members of these partnerships try to exploit their complementary resources in order to create new or shared technical knowledge. Each member wishes to profit from the relationship; so before entering it, all the members must be assured that they will be able to appropriate the results effectively. The US National Cooperative Research Act of 1984 required the parties of a research joint venture seeking benefits from its provisions to file notifications with the Federal government. This research will use two data bases developed with information from these filings as well as other sources to examine the ways in which intellectual property rights affect these complex arrangements. The investigators will use surveys and interviews to collect information about the intellectual property protection mechanisms used in a large sample of US-based research joint ventures. The surveys and interviews will cover a variety of both private sector (domestic and international) and university partners. The major goal of the project is to understand what protection mechanisms are in use and what role they play in these ventures. Another goal is to move towards an understanding of the relative effectiveness of one or another mechanism for a particular purpose, including the failure to form a venture or for it to reach research completion and the willingness of organizations to engage in future ventures. Results will be useful to participants in research joint ventures and to science and technology policy makers. They will include publications and a workshop involving diverse participants.

自1980年代初以来，工业和工业伙伴之间的合作研究协议迅速发展，受到许多因素的鼓舞，包括竞争和联邦政策的步伐。 这些伙伴关系的成员试图利用其互补资源来创建新的或共享的技术知识。 每个成员都希望从关系中获利；因此，在进入它之前，必须确保所有成员都可以有效地恰当地适当结果。 1984年的《美国国家合作研究法》要求一家研究合资企业的当事方从其规定中寻求福利，以向联邦政府提出通知。 这项研究将使用两个数据库以及来自这些文件的信息以及其他来源的信息来研究知识产权影响这些复杂安排的方式。 调查人员将使用调查和访谈来收集有关美国研究合资企业中大量样本中使用的知识产权保护机制的信息。 调查和访谈将涵盖各种私营部门（国内外）和大学合作伙伴。 该项目的主要目标是了解使用哪种保护机制以及它们在这些企业中的作用。 另一个目标是迈向了解一种或另一种机制的特定目的的相对有效性，包括未能形成合资企业，或者它无法达到研究完成以及组织的意愿从事未来的冒险。 结果对于研究合资企业和科学技术政策制定者的参与者将很有用。 它们将包括出版物和涉及不同参与者的研讨会。
