University patenting and its effects on academic research: the emerging European evidence
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-07, 20:18 authored by Aldo Geuna, Lionel J J NestaThis paper surveys the existing fragmentary data on the growth of university-owned patents and university-invented patents in Europe. We find evidence that university patenting is growing, but this phenomenon remains heterogeneous across countries and disciplines. We found some evidence that university licensing is not profitable for most universities, although some do succeed in attracting substantial additional revenues. This might be due to the fact that patents and publications tend to go hand in hand. In a dynamic setting however, we fear that the increase in university patenting exacerbates differences across universities in terms of financial resources and research outcome.

Notes
The paper is part of the author's broad research programme on S&T and the behaviour and organisation of the university. This paper focuses on the supposed crowding-out effect of increased university-owned patents (or the much larger number of university-invented patents) on publications. The outcomes are in fact highly skewed. Dr Geuna's contribution to the final paper amounted to 60%, including all of sections 2-3 and half of section 5.Full text available
