“…Licences are a non-negligible part of universities’ strategies to commercialise their patents while retaining IP profits. Studies concerning U.S. universities have corroborate these patterns (Cavaggioli et al, 2020 ), but there is still a lack of evidence with respect to European countries.…”

The dynamics of basic and applied research at university and industry have steadily changed since the Eighties, with the private sector reducing its investments in science and universities experiencing significant remodelling in the governance of their funding. While studies have focussed on documenting these changes in industry, less attention has been paid to observe the trajectories of basic and applied research in universities. This work contributes to fill this gap by looking at the evolution of publicly funded research that has been patented by universities between 1978 and 2015. First, we adopt a critical perspective of the basic versus applied dichotomy and identify patents according to three typologies of research: basic, mission-oriented, and applied research. Second, we describe the evolution of these three typologies in universities compared to industry. Our results show that over the years, patents from academic research that was publicly funded have become more oriented towards pure basic research, with mission-oriented basic research and pure applied research decreasing from the late 1990s. These results complement and extend the literature on basic and applied research dynamics in the private sector. By introducing mission-oriented research as a type of basic research with consideration of use, the work problematises the basic and applied research dichotomy and provides insights into the evolution of academic research focus, offering a more complex picture of how university research contributes to industry and broader social value creation.

Understanding the purpose and process of obtaining intellectual property rights (IPR) is fundamental to healthcare innovation. Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons are natural innovators, however a knowledge deficit in this space may hinder the ability to move ideas from the “bench to bedside”. Here we provide an overview of IPR, outlining the steps necessary to obtain intellectual property protection in an academic setting, while highlighting recent US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approvals pertaining to Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

“…Tacit knowledge is best transferred through academic engagement, instead of patenting or licensing as it includes more personal interaction (Vries et al, 2019(Vries et al, , p. 1243. Despite the attention that has been paid to commercialization of university IPR, little is known about the commercialization of the results of scientific research, by means of the different transfer channels; the role of patents in transfer of university technology has not been the subject of much scholarly scrutiny so far (Caviggioli et al, 2020;Colyvas et al, 2002, p. 62).…”

Public funded research and inventions play a central role in stimulating innovation in any country. Last year, the Government of India stealthily notified the Draft Model Guidelines on Implementation of IPR Policy for Academic Institutions. The draft guidelines aim to provide a structure embedded in intellectual property rights (IPR) for commercializing university inventions. They prioritize IPR over other methods of technology transfer from academia to the industry. The draft guidelines put India in elite comity of fast-developing and developed nations which have a similar policy framework in place. But is the spirit of collegiality a reason good enough by itself to embrace a policy? The article comprehensively analyses the draft guidelines, their purported rationale, and consequences that their enforcement would entail. The article presents an Indian perspective against the backdrop of the American and English experience, with their respective academic institutions Intellectual Property Policy frameworks, in an endeavor to extract tangible lessons for India. It is argued that with all the pious intentions with which the draft guidelines have been brought, they are misplaced, inapt, and ill-judged.
