Academic Patenting in Europe: Evidence on France, Italy from the KEINS database
Paper in proceeding, 2008

Abstract: Kan mailas till mig om Du vill ha med samt fulltext för avhandlingar The paper provides summary statistics from the KEINS database on academic patenting in France, Italy, and Sweden. It shows that academic scientists in those countries have signed many more patents than previously estimated. This re-evaluation of academic patenting comes by considering all patents signed by academic scientists active in 2004, both those assigned to universities and the many more held by business companies, governmental organizations, and public laboratories. Specific institutional features of the university and research systems in the three countries contribute to explaining these ownership patterns, which are remarkably different from those observed in the USA. In the light of these new data, European universities’ contribution to domestic patenting appears not to be much less intense than that of their US counterparts.
