Managing University Intellectual Property in the Public Interest (Repost)

Committee on Management of University Intellectual Property: Lessons from a Generation of Experience, Research, and Dialogue, Anne-Marie Mazza, National Research Council, "Managing University Intellectual Property in the Public Interest"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0309161118 | 119 pages | PDF | 1.09 mb

he National Research Council convened a committee of experts from universities, industry, foundations, and similar organizations, as well as scholars of the subject, to review experience and evidence of the technology transfer system's effects and to recommend improvements. The present volume summarizes the committee's principal findings and recommendations.

Thirty years ago federal policy underwent a major change through the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which fostered greater uniformity in the way research agencies treat inventions arising from the work they sponsor. Before the Act, if government agencies funded university research, the funding agency retained ownership of the knowledge and technologies that resulted. However, very little federally funded research was actually commercialized. As a result of the Act's passage, patenting and licensing activity from such research has accelerated.

Although the system created by the Act has remained stable, it has generated debate about whether it might impede other forms of knowledge transfer. Concerns have also arisen that universities might prioritize commercialization at the expense of their traditional mission to pursue fundamental knowledge–for example, by steering research away from curiosity-driven topics toward applications that could yield financial returns.
