“…As discussed earlier, eight new university-industry technology transfer models were discovered from the articles reviewed in the current study: the innoSPICE model (Novickis et al 2017), the multi-level approach (Belitski et al 2019), the system thinking approach (Kalnins and Jarohnovich 2015), gap funding (Munari et al 2016), intellectual capital (Frondizi et al 2019), the agent-based approach (Backs et al 2019), the measurement model (Sá and de Pinho 2019), and knowledge spillover (Hayter 2016). The new models are mostly the results of a desire for effective technology transfer results.…”

“…For instance, out-of-the-door success is attributed to a TT agent, so long TT has taken place Public value perspective to technology transfer will take some time to be fully appreciated There is a prevalence of new models in developing economies such as Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan (Belitski et al 2019), and Latvia (Kalnins and Jarohnovich 2015;Novickis et al 2017). Several new models can also be seen in Austria (Backs et al 2019), U.S. (Hayter 2016) and in other parts of Europe (Frondizi et al 2019;Sá and de Pinho 2019;Munari et al 2016).…”

Universities play pivotal roles when research findings are to be adopted commercially. Although these roles vary from one country to another, effective patenting and licensing procedures, as well as eventual commercialisation of scholarly inventions, reflect hard work on the part of the University mediating between the researcher and the industry through technology transfer offices (TTOs) in order to ensure that knowledge-developers take motivational and monetary credit for their findings. This paper details some existing models, processes, and roles taken up in some countries where sharing of intellectual property exists, and links it up with aspects of university–industry technology transfer, such as policies surrounding patenting, government investment and marketing, and the process of academic entrepreneurship, among others. 22 articles were found via a systematic review of literature and analysed with respect to four identified areas of focus: internal strategy, investment and market, academic entrepreneurship and policy. Based on models, processes, and roles in reviewed studies, our results indicate that new models for technology transfer mainly stem from the fact that there is no universally accepted model in the literature. Furthermore, management of technology transfer is mostly the responsibility of TTOs in most countries. While university TTOs act as intermediaries to protect the interest of the author/inventor, issues such as poor relationships between universities and industry, as well as funding, remain major challenges in many emerging economies. In contrast, researchers in western economies are mainly challenged by financial motivation and recognition within the academic domains.

In information technology industry, the development of new technology achievements influences and inspires the business world, serves and contributes to the progress of society. This rapidly evolving technological advancement needs a legal framework in order to obtain social and commercial status. Patent Law is the legal science and patent is the legal tool that adds value to intangible assets and therefore technology scientists are motivated to ensure their invention with a patent and also dominant technology enterprises are competing for the development of a strong patent portfolio. For the first time in Greece, combining the fields of intellectual property law and technological innovation, we created a survey using a questionnaire that was distributed in 2019, to graduated students of technology institutes in Greece. The purpose of the present survey is to clarify the knowhow of students as for the legal point of view of technology. We intend to find out, whether Greece's potential inventors have beyond their technological background, the skills and knowledge to support a potential innovative idea. The results of the survey were that students have confidence in the institution of patents; however they lack the knowledge of patenting technological inventions. At the same time they have a positive attitude and motivation for entrepreneurship in the technological industry. Consequently, it is vital to apply measures in education, for the next generation technical inventors to have the knowhow of utilizing their intellectual asset in their own free will. Then, we can refer to integrated scientist technocrats who can protect their intellectual property and manage a competitive business. INDEX TERMS Artificial intelligent inventions, computer related inventions, entrepreneurial trend, management of technology, patent law awareness, smart technology, survey on technology institutes.

“…In a recent study, Backs, Günther, and Stummer (2019) used agent-based modeling as decision support system when planning measures to encourage academic patenting within universities. The authors suggest "the application of agent-based modeling and simulation, an approach that has been successfully used in other, similar, contexts (e.g., when selecting useful measures for market introduction and diffusion of new products).…”

Recently, Hirsch (2019a) proposed a new variant of the h index called the hα index. He formulated as follows: "we define the hα index of a scientist as the number of papers in the hcore of the scientist (i.e. the set of papers that contribute to the h-index of the scientist) where this scientist is the α-author" (p. 673). The hα index was criticized by Leydesdorff, Bornmann, and Opthof (2019). One of their most important points is that the index reinforces the Matthew effect in science. We address this point in the current study using a recently developed Stata command (h_index) and R package (hindex), which can be used to simulate h index and hα index applications in research evaluation. The user can investigate under which conditions hα reinforces the Matthew effect. The results of our study confirm what Leydesdorff et al. (2019) expected: the hα index reinforces the Matthew effect. This effect can be intensified if strategic behavior of the publishing scientists and cumulative advantage effects are additionally considered in the simulation.
