Abstract
If intellectual property is to be the subject of education, it is necessary to find a universal significance that the intellectual property system is a system that truly contributes to society.
In this paper, first, the author examines the research of Fritz Machlup, who analyzed the socio-economic significance of the intellectual property system in detail based on economic principles, and the research of Robert Marges, who reconsidered it based on the significance of “rights” in human society. Next, the author of this paper conducts a theoretical analysis of the relationship between the intellectual property system and the “new capitalism” that is being attempted to establish the sustainability that humans are facing in the 21st century. Furthermore, the author of this paper takes up the activity results of the “I-Open Project” implemented by the JPO and the regional branding project implemented by our university and examines whether the intellectual property system is suitable as a subject of education based on the experience of logical analysis and empirical evidence.
