In the present paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger type equations with derivative nonlinearity. In one dimensional case, the small data global well-posedness and scattering for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the nonlinear term $\partial _x (\overline{u}^4)$ are shown in the scaling invariant space $\dot{H}^{-1/2}$. Furthermore, we show that the same result holds for the $d \ge 2$ and derivative polynomial type nonlinearity, for example $|\nabla | (u^m)$ with $(m-1)d \ge 4$, where $d$ denotes the space dimension.
