The paper substantiates the need and importance of cultivation of a competence in intellectual property rights (IPR) protection in the teaching staff in higher education during their qualification enhancement (QE) as a condition for their further development and provision of quality higher education in Ukraine. The survey was conducted under the state-funded R&D topic to evaluate the attitude to intellectual property among the teaching staff of institutions of higher education (IHE). It looks into the factors and mechanisms of IPR protection and inclusion in the QE programmes for the IHE teaching staff. Knowledge in IPR protection encourages creation of a favourable environment for intellectual activity development, where an important role in its dissemination belongs to the teaching staff. The findings reveal that acquisition of such knowledge and skills is currently not commonly included in the corresponding QE programmes, while the number of those interested in them is significant. Another red flag in this regard is overbureaucratization of the process and the working overload of the teaching staff. Therefore, changes are in order in the QE programmes to include the relevant portion of knowledge and training in IPR, their exercise, protection, and commercialization.

高等学校教师知识产权素质提升

该论文证实了在高等教育教师资格提升 (QE) 期间培养知识产权 (IPR) 保护能力的必要性和重要性，作为他们在乌克兰进一步发展和提供优质高等教育的条件。该调查是在国家资助的研发课题下进行的，旨在评估高等教育机构（IHE）教职员工对知识产权的态度。它研究了知识产权保护和纳入 IHE 教师 QE 计划的因素和机制。知识产权保护知识鼓励为智力活动的发展创造一个有利的环境，在传播中发挥重要作用的是教师。调查结果显示，获得此类知识和技能目前通常不包括在相应的量化宽松计划中，而对它们感兴趣的人数很多。在这方面的另一个危险信号是过程的过度官僚化和教学人员的超负荷工作。因此，量化宽松计划中的变化是为了包括知识产权知识和培训的相关部分、其行使、保护和商业化。
