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.

We investigate whether university technology transfer offices, that is, divisions responsible for the commercialization of academic research, imitate their industry peers when designing their commercialization strategy. We borrow from information-based theories of imitation and the literature on academic entrepreneurship to argue that given a technology transfer office’s autonomy to strategize independently from its parent university, information from within and outside the technology transfer office affects its propensity to imitate the commercialization strategy of the “most successful peers,” that is, those with the largest live spinoff portfolio and greatest revenues from spinoffs in the industry. We contend that a technology transfer office’s experience, that is, a function of its age, represents a key internal source of information for the technology transfer office when deciding whether to imitate or not; we also consider the technology transfer office’s embeddedness in a network where the most successful peer is also a member as a key external source of information. From data on 86 British university technology transfer offices and their commercialization strategies between 1993 and 2007 that were drawn from both secondary sources and in-depth interviews with technology transfer office managers, we find that there is a negative relationship between technology transfer offices’ autonomy and their level of imitation of the most successful technology transfer office’s strategy, and that this relationship is moderated by the technology transfer offices’ age and by their membership into an association where the most successful technology transfer office is also a member.

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.

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.

This paper provides a comparative analysis of technology transfer practices in the European Union (EU), with special emphasis on Spain, and the USA. In EU member states hundreds of policy measures and support schemes for innovation have been implemented or are under discussion. In particular, two aspects of innovation are being specifically developed by each country because of their relevance to the global economy: industry-science relationships and the protection of intellectual property rights. This study first presents an overview of the evolution of the regulatory framework and the current legal status in the EU with regard to these key issues. The USA continues to record impressive statistics concerning the transfer of the results of academic research for commercial application and the exploitation of intellectual property rights. To identify the key factors in its success, some distinct characteristics of the US regulatory environment are presented. Finally, the paper identifies the crucial steps that need to be taken in the next phase of global interaction between science and industry and international patent systems so as to manage a worldwide network of innovation that will encourage a growing competitive economy.

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.
