most developed countries, such as UK, Japan, Netherlands etc.., can not beaccepted anymore in their current form.In Romania, there are known cases of notoriety [4], as aconsequence of present inventions law, that one still not know who isdefending, the inventor or the invention owner, who respectively is relatingto, the protection either to the intellectual property or industrial property.Here are some of them: the case of engineer Ion Basgan, inventor of thedrill bit for drilling, re-patented in the U.S. in 1937, after having beenoriginally patented in Romania, in 1934, and even having not receivedauthor copyright until today (invention brought millions of dollars benefitsto the U.S.), than PhD physicist Paul Eugen, the inventor of the HiperCD-ROM multilayers, photon recording and playback, patented in Romania in1999 and re-patented to date in over 21 countries (!?...), without beingapplied anywhere (! ...) and at the end the case of Constantin PÂRVULOIU,inventor of so-called devices "without ion pump”, which were not sent forpatenting because of excessive fees, but published in a recent book in orderto defend his copyright (!?... ).Hence, the need to gather round table the patent offices,professional associations and high-level professionals, first inventologs andleading inventors, to draft a modern law of the inventions that enhance theintellectual wealth of nations and not to transform the inventor into a"Cinderella" of a company ready just to exploit his creation [1-4].In this context, the paper highlight the Romanian inventors'opinion related to improper management of patent activity, result ofdeficiencies of the current inventions laws and solutions found by somemanagers of public institutions to stimulate the technical creativity.2. Improper management of patent activitiesPatenting in Romania after 4-5 years from the registration (overlylarge period for analysis) and mandatory protection fee from the registrationdate are two unjust and inexplicable aspects, given that today'scomputerized system allows high speed detailed analysis of an invention,and the payment of protection fee should be required after acceptance andpublication of the patent. Evidence that this is possible in most countries,patents issued last no more than a year and a half. In Iran, for example, theinvention patent is released in a month and a half [4, 5].In the Netherlands, specialists from the National Office for Patents,aware that current laws do not support the inventor, introduced the utilitymodel by the invention, with no charge for five years, provided that duringthis period it should be applied.174
