“…There has been an extensive scholarly discussion on the effects of the Bayh-Dole Act (cf., e.g, Henderson et al, 1998;Mowery and Ziedonis, 2002;Shane, 2004;Sampat, 2006). Empirical analysis of the German reform is nonetheless justified because it may not necessarily have had the same kinds of effects that were observed in the U.S.. We already noted how the German reform effectively differed from its U.S. counterpart.…”

We examine ownership patterns of German university-invented patents before and after the abolition of the 'professors' privilege' in 2002 to explore how the legal change affected patenting activities. Our data show a shift from individually-owned and firmowned patents to university-owned patents, which becomes increasingly strong over the years. Differences in the patent experience of inventors and universities further help explain the variance in ownership patterns. Both experienced and inexperienced inventors are affected by the legal change. Terms of use: Documents inJEL Classifications: O33, O34, O38

“…The rise of the university Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the increasing attempts of universities to capture formal IP have had a profound impact on the nature of scientific efforts (Shane, 2004). These efforts have led to the creation of a new commercial focus on the part of the universities to create valuable IP and exploit it for financial gain (Mowery and Ziedonis, 2002). For some, this focus on commercialization undermines the public commons of science, weakening the institutions of open science through the imposition of private norms on public activities (Nelson, 2004).…”

Investigating the factors that diminish the barriers to university–industry collaboration

Although the literature on university-industry links has begun to uncover the reasons for, and types of, collaboration between universities and businesses, it offers little explanation of ways to reduce the barriers in these collaborations. This paper seeks to unpack the nature of the obstacles to collaborations between universities and industry, exploring influence of different mechanisms in lowering barriers related to the orientation of universities and to the transactions involved in work with university partners. Drawing on a large-scale survey and public records, this paper explores the effects of collaboration experience, breadth of interaction, and interorganizational trust on lowering different types of barriers. The analysis shows that prior experience of collaborative research lowers orientation-related barriers and that greater levels of trust reduce both types of barriers studied. It also indicates that breadth of interaction diminishes the orientation-related, but increases transaction-related barriers. The paper explores the implications of these findings for policies aimed at facilitating university-industry collaboration.

“…With such a sharp increase in university patenting (Henderson et al, 1998;Mowery and Ziedonis, 2002), universities and other publicly funded research institutions are no longer considered as mere contributors to the increase in the stock of fundamental knowledge; they are increasingly seen as direct contributors to invention 1 . Thus, invention generation and technology transfer have become a major public policy issue and a concern for economic analysis.…”

Abstract:This article presents an empirical study on the patenting activities of the faculty members of the University Louis Pasteur, a major French research university. Our findings suggest that publishing and patenting are positively related while academic status and patenting are not, and that university researchers are more likely to patent later in their careers. With regard to research organization, we find positive effects of the laboratory's size, of the amount of contractual funds collected by the lab and of the share these funds received from private sources.
