The desire to find appropriate vehicles for the commercialization of university research has been an ongoing concern for those inside and outside universities. In this paper, the authors present follow-up findings into their research on the formation and management of university spin-off firms (USOs) in England. It is argued that variations in the types of USOs and their sectoral location have important implications for the significance of the science base to small firms, the science and technology inputs required by firms, and the strategies of intellectual property protection they pursue.

This study discusses the potential of Intellectual Property protection on the creation of Science and Technology Development results by Lecturers in Higher Education and Intellectual Property Protection on the Creation of Science and Technology Development results in Universities in Improving Global Competitiveness.This study is a legal research using a normative juridical approach and descriptive analytical research specifications. The data used in this study are secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Data obtained through library studies and field research in the form of legislation, books, journals, and authoritative electronic media. The results of the study show that (1). the results of Science and Technology Development by university lecturers have the potential to obtain wealth protection in the field of Copyright and Patents, but do not rule out rights through other types of Intellectual Property. (2). Creation of Science and Technology development results that are protected by Intellectual Property and supported by the value chain and competitive scope will have high quality and reputation so as to enhance global competitiveness.

Critical Theory holds that capitalism privatizes the benefits of knowledge through systems of patent and copyright laws, leaving marginalized communities alienated not only from material progress but from “ways of knowing and relating to the world.” Critical theorists have it backward, and that the system of intellectual property protection has allowed continuous improvements in science and technology to the benefit of all.

The commercialization of university research is usually handled by technology transfer officers. In this paper the authors report on the development of a training course in research commercialization for researchers themselves, who, although the most important people in the process, typically have little knowledge of this important area. The course is designed to create awareness of key topics and to introduce participants to the different concepts involved in the commercialization of knowledge – protection of intellectual property, spin-off companies, and doing with business with commercial enterprises. The pilot training courses were given in three different European locations (Leuven, Münster, Nijmegen). The authors report on participants' views of the training and suggest revisions for future courses.
