Francesco Lissoni GREThA-Université Bordeaux IV; KITES-Università Bocconi, Milan Academic Patenting in Europe (APE-INV): An Overview
APE-INV ‘s main features • Database Harmonization project[which] ... … aims at re-classifying patents by inventors [and] … promote(s) the collection of cross-country data … on European universities’ contribution to patenting • Research Networking Programme … no direct funding of research activities … provision of infrastructure and discussion forums … to help laying the foundations of national research initiatives

Whatdidweknow (thatwedidnotknowbefore…)? • Academicpatentingisnot just universitypatenting IP ownership • Academicpatentingisnot just a US phenomenon • “Open Science” vs “Private technology”: • Complementarity at the individuallevel • Trade-off at the systemiclevel Whatdidn’t weknow (yet..)? • Inventors’ incentives and strategies • Ownership: Howgood are universitiesas IP assetmanagers? • Academicpatentingoutside the US: Isitincreasing? In quantity? In quality? Weneedlongitudinal data! • Inventor data: Howtoimprovequality? Howtogetfeedbacks? • APE-INV project!
APE-INV’s objectives MAIN: M1. to share expertise and methods for the creation of an inventors’ database; M2. to share expertise and methods for matching the inventors’ database with national databases of academic scientists produce comparable countsof acad. patenting activity collect auxiliary information on academic inventors; M3. to produce a freely available database on “academic patenting in Europe” SUBSIDIARY S1. to produce one or more joint publications; S2. to devise a method for collecting the database users’ feedbacks on the quality of the data.
Activities & achievements, by objective M1. creation of an inventor database S2. method for collecting the database users’ feedbacks • Data repository and feedback platform • 2806516 inventors 2032701/2481582 individuals • 2200000 patents (EPO applications, 1978-2010) • Reference source: Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (PatStat), issued by the European Patent Office (EPO) M2. produce comparable counts of academic patenting M3. free database on “academic patenting in Europe” • APE-INV country datasets: “PUBLN_NR” + “Academ. dummy” BOTH ON APE-INV website’s DB page ( frontpagehttp:/www.academicpatenting.eu)
Activities & achievements, by objective (cont.) S1. to produce one or more joint publications
