In this chapter, we will discuss the unequal partnership between industry and academy when dealing with IP and its usage. The main parameters towards economic growth when dealing with knowledge creation and market introduction of said knowledge relate, to knowledge management and protection are mentioned. These issues refer to the ability of the academy to research all, but often the permission to commercialize only part (FTO), and the ability of the industry to commercialize combined with its limitations on research (Porath, 2010). Among other topics to be discussed are the knowledge gap between basic research and applied research, and the role of translational research. The role of basic research institutes, the role of industrial research organization (regional or national), and the competition between such institutes and the alternative, the R&D support program.
