Transfer Mechanisms

US colleges of agriculture and technology transfer offices have historically been in conflict over the management of plant varieties. In today's world, it is inefficient for agricultural colleges to have a system separate from a university's wider technology transfer system, since they both interact with inventors, handle intellectual property, market their products, negotiate licence agreements, and distribute royalties. The authors discuss a simple model that would allow these two currently competing systems to become integrated.

Effective Analysis

In the biotechnology industries, the technology transfer process serves as a crucial bridge linking public science to commercial enterprise. This paper argues that an effective analysis of technology transfer must move beyond a description of the technology transfer offices, and examine how a nation's technology transfer system is embedded within a broader national system of innovation. With this aim the UK and German technology transfer systems are compared. Important differences exist in the maturity and pattern of subsector specialisation across the two country's biotechnology industries. Germany's relatively late entry into the industry and its new companies' tendency to focus in platform technology and diagnostics segments as opposed to therapeutics (as is the case in the UK) can be linked to the laws governing intellectual property, the incentives for professors and scientists to become entrepreneurs, and the scientific resources available for commercialisation. Given the important differences in the profit and growth profiles of these product segments, the organisation of the technology transfer system together with national factors such as the availability of high-risk finance and skilled managers have a significant impact on the competitive prospects of a country's biotechnology industry.

This article discusses the management of intellectual property in Brazilian public universities, mainly in relation to strategies for commercialization or licensing the results of academic research. It identifies, in the international literature, the main strategies adopted and recommended by technology transfer offices in foreign universities, and compares them to the practices adopted in different Brazilian universities. Finally, it makes recommendations to enhance the procedures adopted by Brazilian institutions. Key words: Patent. Technology transfer offices. Commercialization. Licensing. Public university.

The introduction highlights some of the current problems of technology transfer offices (OTT) in Ukraine. The world has developed effective practices for the functioning of OTT, but they do not take into account the current problems of Ukraine’s economic situation. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to study the world practices of OTT and adapt their experience to the current realities of Ukraine. Using analysis and synthesis methods, the review of foreign and domestic scientific papers and normative legal acts devoted to the practice and experience of the most famous OTT was fulfilled. Results: Based on the analysis of the best world practice of OTT, practical recommendations for the functioning of Ukrainian OTTs with regard to modern realities have been obtained. It is found that only a small number of technologies in a large portfolio of intellectual property objects can bring significant income. Conclusions. Some recommendations based on the experience of western OTT are provided to the management of domestic scientific institutions.

Industry Engagement

Industry engagement and the application of universities’ research outcomes for shaping society to achieve a habitable environment are possible as a result of technology transfer. With reference to universities in the Czech Republic, this paper proposes a model of effective knowledge management for intellectual property created by university employees according to the structure of individual faculties and their main research focus. The ultimate goal is to achieve effective technology transfer through knowledge management. A review of previous technology transfer models, such as appropriability, dissemination, knowledge utilization, communication, use of a university technology transfer office, and the Triple Helix, shows that these models cannot effectively transfer technology individually but can do so in combination at different levels. Consequently, a knowledge management model is introduced in this study for the transfer of technology from universities. The introduction of technology transfer offices (TTOs) is expected to protect intellectual property, generate new knowledge and create access to valuable knowledge, among other benefits.

An internship programme on intellectual property and the management thereof was designed and conducted at Michigan State University for representatives from developing countries. Eleven participants from eight developing countries attended the two-week programme. In addition to classroom work, the interns visited several university technology transfer offices and attended the annual meeting of the Association of University Technology Managers. As a result of the programme, interns are having a positive impact on individuals, institutions, and governments by developing educational programmes and by providing advice in the development of new intellectual property protection policies and laws. Due to its success, planning is underway to conduct the internship programme again during 1997.

Aim. The presented study aims to examine the development of intellectual property in the context of the innovation process.Tasks. The authors define the major prerequisites for the transformation of the institution of intellectual property; monitor the dynamics of trademark applications filed in the Russian Federation in 2016–2020; briefly describe factors influencing the commercialization of intellectual innovative developments.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods (the monographic method, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and methods of structural, systems, and comparative economic analysis.Results. The analyzed trends in the development of intellectual property shows that the use of the ecosystem approach in technology transfer and constructive interaction between individual subjects of technology transfer will facilitate active development of the research potential of certain organizations and implementation of developments in production, while also strengthening the position of the Russian Federation in the global high-tech market. Comparative analysis of the global intellectual property market shows that international technology licensing grows by approximately 18% annually, while domestic technology licensing increases by only 10 % each year. Therefore, it can be concluded that intellectual exchange is one of the drivers of globalization. However, the recent trend towards increased regionalization raises the urgent issue of intensifying the creation of a national technology transfer ecosystem in Russia – one that would be closely linked to the national industrial ecosystem – in order to enhance the competitiveness of goods and services produced by Russian companies. There is an obvious global trend towards the transformation of traditional business models and the emergence of unified corporate, industrial, or national environments of cooperation chains aimed at developing new technologies.Conclusions. It can be argued that the development of intellectual property is one of the factors that determine the sustainable and progressive development of the innovation economy as a whole. This potential is realized through the commercialization of innovative developments and the protection of intellectual property. In view of the high importance of protecting national developments, it is advisable to support them within the framework of the national economic policy.
