“…There are several reasons for which patenting is not considered an optimal KT indicator: the poor understanding of the needs of the market by academics, their need for publication (publish or perish), very cumbersome academic procedures for patenting, unrealistic royalties, the company's necessity to take high risk and large investments to bring the technology to the market [89]. Li et al stated that the co-ownership has a negative impact on patent commercialization: industry-academia patents are less probable to be commercialized [90]. Cerulli et al focalized their attention on the impact of academic patents on firm's performance, and they stated that there is a positive impact on market power but a lower profitability [91].…”

Best Practices in Knowledge Transfer: Insights from Top Universities

The impact of knowledge transfer induced by universities on economy, society, and culture is widely acknowledged; nevertheless, this aspect is often neglected by university rankings. Here, we considered three of the most popular global university rankings and specific knowledge transfer indicators by U-multirank, a European ranking system launched by the European Commission, in order to answer to the following research question: how do the world top universities, evaluated according to global university rankings, perform from a knowledge transfer point of view? To this aim, the top universities have been compared with the others through the calculation of a Global Performance Indicator in Knowledge Transfer (GPI KT), a hierarchical clustering, and an outlier analysis. The results show that the universities best rated by global rankings do not always perform as well from knowledge transfer point of view. By combining the obtained results, it is possible to state that only 5 universities (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, CALTEC), among the top in the world, exhibit a high-level performance in knowledge transfer activities. For a better understanding of the success factors and best practices in knowledge transfer, a brief description of the 5 cited universities, in terms of organization of technology transfer service, relationship with business, entrepreneurship programs, and, more generally, third mission activities, is provided. A joint reading of the results suggests that the most popular global university rankings probably fail to effectively photograph third mission activities because they can manifest in a variety of forms, due to the intrinsic and intangible nature of third mission variables, which are difficult to quantify with simple and few indicators.

“…Patents are an important commodity in the technology market, and its trading increases the country's economic value (Svensson, 2007;Li et al, 2021). This patent value or quality of patents increases with R&D collaboration (Agostini and Caviggioli, 2015;Belderbos et al, 2014) with high technology patents being associated with organisations and low technology patents being associated with individually held patents (Weick and Eakin, 2005;Wickramasinghe and Ahmad, 2012).…”

“…Literature also suggests that ownership influences the ability to Developing nation's Triple Helix search for commercial partners (Hellmann, 2007) and impacts the success levels of patent commercialising (Gambardella et al, 2007). In contrast, certain studies reveal a negative impact of patent commercialisation for organisational ownership especially when the coownership is between Academia and Industry partners (Li et al, 2021). Policy too affects the rate of patent commercialisation (Gong and Peng, 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the innovation environment of a developing nation through the Triple Helix model, revealing the existing inter-relationships between the three Helixes of Academia–Industry–Government. It sets out to find out the relationship and impact of the three Helixes on the most crucial stage of the innovation process: the commercialisation of patents, and to ascertain if there is a varying impact determined by patent ownership. Design/methodology/approach This cross-sectional study uses the survey method based on the views expressed by 220 Sri Lankan registered patent holders and categorised by organisational and individual ownership. The sample is drawn from the database of the National Intellectual Property Office of Sri Lanka and patents registered through the Patent Cooperation Treaty, extracted from the World Intellectual Property Organisation Patent Scope database. The survey was carried out in 2019 and limited to patents registered during the period 2010–2014. Findings The empirical findings indicate weak inter-relationship between Academia support, Industry support and patent commercial success, while the support of the Government Helix is non-significant in the commercial stage. The findings also indicate two different support standards existing in each Helix for the two ownership groups. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to a five-year window in a relatively early period in the country’s innovation policy development. The study model is also limited by the non-inclusion of mediators such as government-backed affiliated agencies and academia technical transfer offices which if incorporated would improve the study model and be more reflective of the actual environment and their role as change agents bridging the transition to a hybrid Triple Helix. Practical implications The study findings capture the inter-relationships of the Triple Helix existing in a developing country at the most crucial stage of the innovation process. It helps policymakers identify the gaps in each Helix that stands wanting and take measures to rectify them by creating a more favourable National Innovation System. An innovative environment that will facilitate patent holders achieve higher technological transfers and commercial success rates. Social implications The findings disclosure of two different support standards existing in each Helix for the two patent ownership groups poses a challenge for policymakers and challenges the core objective of increasing the commercial success of patents granted. The findings strengthen the need for a more robust support system to be put in place that would empower and facilitate the individual patent owner to increase the share of economic value arising from this underutilised patent group. Originality/value This study contributes by furthering the Triple Helix model in a social context and micro-setting by operationalising the theoretical practices. The study also gives insight into each Helix’s interaction and contribution during the most crucial stage of innovation management in a developing economy and its impact on the two categories of patent ownership which is scarce.
