Technology transfer is one of important strategies in sustainable economic growth. There are supply-push and demand-pull directions of technology transfer, and recently Korean research institutes have paid increasing attention to demand-pull technology transfer in an attempt to improve public research institutes’ technology transfer performance (TTP). However, our view is that simply adopting a demand-pull or a supply-push model does not always guarantee improved TTP. We argue that technology marketing strategies, such as mass marketing and target marketing, should also be considered. This study aims to investigate the relationship between technology transfer directions and TTP, and the role of technology marketing strategies. We collected a Korean research institute’s technology transfer data from 2014 to 2015, and then employed a two-way ANOVA to analyze the data. The result of the analysis shows that TTPs differ by technology transfer directions and technology marketing strategies. More importantly, we found that the demand-pull model yields higher TTP, especially when the model is associated with target marketing strategies rather than mass-marketing strategies. This result implies that marketing strategies, such as market segmentation and customer targeting, are needed if an organization wants to improve TTP by implementing the demand-pull technology transfer model.

The design of national innovation systems has attracted attention from scholars and policymakers. Firms, universities and government organisations (including public research institutes) are defined as the three major players of the national innovation system and interactions between the players are considered the key of the national innovation system. However, public research institutes are relatively understudied compared to firms and universities even though their contribution in the national innovation system is not trivial. Aiming at understanding detailed process rather than testing hypotheses, the findings of this article shed practical information regarding innovation process in public research institutes. Focusing on the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (Fraunhofer) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (ITRI), this article analyses and compares innovation processes of public research institutes with their patent data. Based on findings, this study further discusses issues for better management of public research institutes.

Taking the status of China's patent technology transfer as the research goal, select the representative Guangdong Province as the research object, Using the incopat innovative intelligence platform as a data source, 157,178 related content were retrieved, And from patent technology transfer trends, technology ownership, applicants, geography, legal and operational status, patent agents and other aspects of analysis. Research shows that the development of China's patent technology transfer is strong, but there are some problems, in particular, the transfer of patent technology in research institutes and research institutions needs to be strengthened, and there is a large gap in regional patent technology transfer. Therefore, it is necessary to create a favorable environment for patent licensing and technology transfer and transformation policies, and actively guide the industrialization of patent technology in universities and research institutions, Strengthen the transfer of scientific and technological achievements to the market, train and expand the technical transfer of professional talents and so on, further promote the integrated development of science and technology and the economy, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into actual productivity. China's patent technology research has certain reference value for other countries.
