Patents & innovation partneringwith industry
1. Introduction
Universities
Vital role in fostering innovation in knowledge intensive ecosystem
Driving force of innovation by generating knowledge, attracting human
talent and stimulating entrepreneurial mindsets
Can take the lead in their ecosystems by building partnerships with
industry, government and society as a whole
Valorisation
Using knowledge from innovative research for the benefit of economy and society
by means of a product, process, organization or business model
Key findings
o Technology transfer performance is low (delay in technology
transfer)
o Lack of demonstration/maturity of technology
Increased importance from policy makers
4 pilars:
Different business models
-> centralized under board of directors
-> decentralized per faculty and deans
-> disciplinary at university level
-> multi-disciplinary (multiple universities)
Valorizations at UA

onderzoeksfonds)

open mind to share knowledge
2. Framework & general introduction
Framework = a paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external
ideas as well as internal ideas and internal and external paths to market, as firms
look to advance their technology
Framework
Globalization and internalization
Increase of R&D costs
Shorter innovation cycle and fast developing environment
Increased complexity of new technology
Availability of external funding
Advantages of open innovation Disadvantages of open innovation
- decrease of R&D costs - decrease of control when you work
- decrease of risks together with other parties
- faster R&D track - potential opportunistic behavior of
- leveraging instruments counterparty
- increased risk of leakage of
knowledge
Open innovation approaches
Inside-out: transfer IP from internally to another party
Outside-in: IP is brought into the organization from an external source.
