The Globalization of Academic Entrepreneurship?
<http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.04214> 
The Recent Growth (2009-2014) in University Patenting Decomposed


Loet Leydesdorff, Henry Etzkowitz, and Duncan Kushnir

 

The contribution of academia to US patents has become increasingly global.
Following a pause, with a relatively flat rate, from 1998 to 2008, the
long-term trend of university patenting rising as a share of all patenting
has resumed, driven by the internationalization of academic entrepreneurship
and the persistence of US university technology transfer. We disaggregate
this recent growth in university patenting at the US Patent and Trademark
Organization (USPTO) in terms of nations and patent classes. Foreign
patenting in the US has almost doubled during the period 2009-2014, mainly
due to patenting by universities in Taiwan, Korea, China, and Japan. These
nations compete with the US in terms of patent portfolios, whereas most
European countries--with the exception of the UK--have more specific
portfolios, mainly in the bio-medical fields. In the case of China, Tsinghua
University holds 63% of the university patents in USPTO, followed by King
Fahd University with 55.2% of the national portfolio.
