It is necessary to have a solution on appropriate mechanisms and policies to promote the potential of “amateur inventors” in our country.
In our country today, in addition to the force of professional scientists – those who are well-trained, working in institutes, schools, enterprises or research organizations have full conditions to ensure the operation of the university. In addition to our creativity, we also have a force of “Amateur Inventors – Non-Scientists”, they are pure farmers (barefoot scientists), craftsmen… where there are Many people who only go to high school can read and write. However, there are many inventions, their initiatives have brought great benefits to their work, the community and society.
According to the general data of the local Department of Science and Technology Development, the Ministry of Science and Technology (Science and Technology) in the period from 2016 to 2020, there are 781 inventions and inventions discovered and recorded in the whole country from 2016 to 2020. through various competitions from central to local, such as: Technical Innovation Contest of provinces and cities; National Youth, Youth and Children’s Creative Competition; Vietnam Science and Technology Innovation Award; Farmer Technical Innovation Contest; Meeting and honoring typical amateur inventors in industries and localities; Advanced typical conference; “Patriotic emulation congress at all levels and branches… Many inventions and initiatives are effective, feasible and immediately applied in production to free up manual labor, improve productivity and product quality. Products. For example, inventor Pham Van Hat (Hai Duong) with “Automatic seeding machine”, a machine that places seeds accurately at a predetermined distance, replacing the work of 40 people, the machine is available for sale in most provinces. , cities in the country and 14 countries around the world such as Germany, USA, Japan, China…; Inventor Ta Dinh Huy (Hanoi) with the “Multi-function agricultural machine”, the machine has integrated 15 functions such as plowing, harrowing, milling the soil, weeding the garden, creating rows for seeding, creating beds, and winches. towing agricultural, forestry products, micro-fertilizer island, drainage ditch, planting hole digging, generator, towing trailers in house garden, farm, digging coffee tank, spraying pesticides, pumping, watering pepper. Up to now, Mr. Huy’s facility has produced more than 1,000 machines and has a strong position in the domestic market; Inventor Le Van Thanh (Binh Dinh) with the invention of a compact corn kernel separator, suitable for mountainous terrain, operated by an oil machine; Inventor Le Huu Minh (Thua Thien Hue) with a hydraulic press machine for sesame oil – sesame oil, the machine works with a capacity of pressing 1.5 tons of peanuts/day with cheap price, saving labor; Inventor Tran Kim Hiep (Quang Ngai) with a mobile glue peeling and peeling machine that can replace 6 labors; Inventor Nguyen Van Ro (Ca Mau) with an ultra-light plow that can float on water and easily navigate in the canals in the Southwest region, has been granted an exclusive solution by the National Office of Intellectual Property. useful; Inventor Nguyen Thanh Hung (Dong Thap) with an agricultural machine specializing in plucking sesame seeds, jute vegetables, morning glory is currently sold in some provinces and cities in the country and exported to Cambodia; Inventor Pham Van Hung (Tay Ninh) with a rig that combines four features in one, which is grooving, seed removal, trench filling, fertilizing, and a fully automatic machine during use, the rig can solve the problem. labor difficulties, minimizing seed damage, especially meeting the needs of mechanization for large planting areas…

Ta Dinh Huy, Hanoi – Convenient agricultural machine products (Multipurpose).

Pham Van Hung, Tay Ninh – Product of 4-in-1 seeding rig.
Aware of the meaning, creative effectiveness and existing benefits of “non-specialist inventors” for socio-economic development, the Ministry of Science and Technology has actively advised the Government to issue Decree No. Decree No. 13/2012/ND-CP, Circular No. 18/2013/TT-BKHCN guiding the implementation of a number of provisions of the initiative’s charter. Many localities have issued a number of policies to support and encourage initiatives and inventions suitable to the local situation. However, compared with the creative potential, the ability to replicate, and especially the continued support for these inventions and initiatives to complete the technological process, protect intellectual property. copyright), industrial-scale production and commercialization of products to the market… The existing mechanisms and policies are not enough, it is necessary to have more synchronous mechanisms and policies from the central government. to localities.
First, there should be a number of solutions, policies and activities to support and create favorable conditions for inventors who are not specialized in commercializing products, such as: introducing participation in fairs and science and technology events; guiding procedures, patent protection registration; honored in the media in many different forms. In the long term, it is necessary to have a support mechanism and funding from the state budget for “non-specialist inventors” to continue researching and perfecting technologies, building replication models, transfer contracts. , contribute capital, guarantee their own patents for cooperation in production, borrow money from banks to expand production…
It is thought that the authorities at all levels pay due attention, the state promulgates appropriate mechanisms and policies to encourage creative capacity, the force of “non-specialist inventors” will continue to have initiatives. , useful solutions that contribute to liberating people’s labor force, improving productivity and product quality, making a very important contribution to the socio-economic development of localities and of the country./.
