한국과 일본의 고등학교 내 지식재산교육체계 비교분석

Although Korea's implementation of national policies on intellectual property rights was later than that of intellectual property rights powerhouses such as the United States and Japan, it has been able to achieve high intellectual property rights national competitiveness in a relatively short period of time compared to those countries. Nevertheless, Korea's international intellectual property rights competitiveness index is still relatively low compared to its competitors. On the other hand, Japan enacted the Basic Law of Intellectual Property eight years earlier than Korea, and has been establishing laws and policies related to intellectual property and implementing intellectual property education. Therefore, this study aims to examine the overall implementation of intellectual property education in high schools in Korea and Japan in a comparative manner, and to suggest implications and improvement measures for intellectual property education in Korean high schools. To this end, the current status and human resources of intellectual property education in high schools in Korea and Japan were compared and analyzed with a focus on intellectual property policies. By comparing the overall intellectual property education in high schools in both countries, we sought to find out the implications and future development directions of intellectual property education in Korean high schools. Accordingly, this study recommended that intellectual property education in Korean high schools be divided into general intellectual property education and specialized IP education, and that appropriate teaching methods, contents, and teacher training be promoted for each type of intellectual property education. In order for these recommendations to be implemented smoothly, it was determined that a reorganization to a new management system with increased participation of the Ministry of Education, which oversees the overall school education, was necessary.
