Abstract

Science and Technology Enterprises (STEs) are important actors within the innovation ecosystem, serving as a bridge between scientific research and the market through the commercialization of research outcomes. In this process, intellectual property is not only the product of innovative activities but also a strategic asset that determines a firm's competitiveness and sustainable development. Therefore, intellectual property law plays a particularly significant role in fostering the establishment and growth of STEs. This article examines the role of intellectual property law in relation to STEs and proposes several recommendations for improving the legal framework in order to promote the development of this business model in Vietnam.

Keywords: Commercialization of research results, innovation, intellectual assets, intellectual property, science and technology enterprises.
