“…The second type of studies is of limited geographical applicability as it is basically valid only for patents of German and Austrian origin, countries where professors have the custom to sign with their title. The present paper is related to this line of research, regarding a third and less frequent kind of studies: those with the objective to match inventors to authors at a large scale (Noyons et al 2003a and2003b;Schmoch et al 2012;Dornbusch et al 2012).…”

“…Our aim is to contribute to the expanding literature on matching and disambiguation techniques to create unique person identifiers in patent and publication databases for science and innovation studies (Raffo and Lhuillery 2009;Dornbusch et al 2012;Pezzoni et al 2013). First, we explain the challenges faced and solutions adopted for matching records from two bibliographical databases (SCOPUS for publications and 2 One of the objectives of the European Science Foundation Research Networking Programme Academic Patenting in Europe (ESF APE INV) is to combine effort from different research groups and create a European database of academic patenting.…”

The aim of this paper is to describe a matching and disambiguation methodology for the identification of author-inventors located in the same country. It aims to maximize precision and recall rates by taking into account national name writing customs in the name matching stage and by including a recursive validation step in the person disambiguation stage. An application to the identification of Spanish author-inventors is described in detail, where all SCOPUS 2003-2008 publications of Spanish authors are matched to all 1978-2009 EPO applications with Spanish inventors. Using this data, we identify 4,194 Spanish author-inventors. A first look at their patenting and publication patterns reveal that Spanish author-inventors make quite a significant contribution to the overall country's scientific and technological production in the time periods considered: 27% of all EPO patent applications invented in Spain and 15% of all SCOPUS scientific articles authored in Spain, with important differences across fields and excluding journals in non-technologically relevant fields.

“…In this investigation we define academic inventor as a scientist who appears as an inventor on a patent that is held by a university, an institute of advanced education (institución de educación superior, ies for its acronym in Spanish) or public research institution (institución pública de investigación, ipi for its acronym in Spanish) who is also affiliated with this institution. According to Lissoni (2012) and Dornbusch, Schmoch, Schulze and Bethke (2013), this concept is used on studies on academic patents, industrial property and governance models in universities and research institutions.…”

We aim to answer the following research questions: Which is the propensity of Mexican Research National System –sni- researchers from universities and institutes to become inventors in patents granted to their institutions? What are the personal, institutional and innovation nature factors which have influence in such propensity? Which factors favor the inventive productivity of the academic inventors? According to the outcomes of three econometric models proposed, using micro data of uspto patents during 1980- 2013 and the sni researchers individual and institutional data, our main findings are: the sni researchers propensity of being inventors of their institutions’ patents is marginal but it is higher when they belong to institutions with an intellectual property regulation. Also, this propensity is associated with: the researcher’s age and its sni level, as personal factors; the institution size and the PhD quality programs approved by conacyt, as institutional factors; finally, technological amplitude, invention scope, the technological collaboration and the importance of the invention, as factors of the innovation nature. While, the research team mixed of women and men and the technology transfer office have not still influence in the pip. Finally, we have tested that the age has influence in the inventors’ productivity in a positive sense and the square_age affects in a negative way. Also, the invention scope and the technological collaboration, have a positive impact. But not, the level of sni researchers-inventors and the sni scientific research area, and neither the PhD academic quality programs.

“…For the purposes of the present research we adopt a definition of an "academic" patent utilized in the existing literature. Thus, we define "academic" a patent that was signed at least by one academic scientist, while working at his/her university, irrespective of whether the patent is owned by the university, a public research organization (PRO), the scientist, a business company or any other organization, either exclusively or jointly with other assignees (Dornbusch, Schmoch, Schulze, & Bethke, 2013;Lissoni, 2012;Lissoni et al, 2013). In terms of type of ownership, the sample contains 2034 university-invented academic patents, while 504 academic patents from the sample are university-owned (20% of the sample).…”

The Effect of University-Level Support Policies on Female Participation in Academic Patenting

A growing stream of academic literature investigates various factors which impede the participation of women in patenting and commercialization of the patented research; however, limited research has been performed on the ways to address this gender gap. We explore whether the institutional ownership arrangements of university patent, as well as the presence of such university-level support measures as a technology transfer office (TTO) and IP policy has a positive effect on the female involvement in patenting. We test our hypotheses on a sample of 2538 academic patents produced by Italian inventors in the period of 1996-2007. The results of our research highlight a positive role of a university in addressing the gender gap in productivity and in commercial engagement within academia.
