Patents as a Lens • University patenting: Bayh-Dole Act Effects? • Patent mapping • Geographic mapping • Intellectual mapping (IPC) • Different databases (USPTO, EPO, PatStat) • Publish or Patent? (The Entrepreneurial University) • Future directions

Conclusions • Technological innovations “tumble” through landscapes that change; • These landscapes – selection environments – are heavily institutionalized • basemaps(publications, patents, etc.) • We need flexible tools for moving from one context to another overlays to basemaps Rotolo, D., Rafols, I., Hopkins, M.
