Who Benefit from Stronger U-I Links?
The University of Texas

The Austin Technopolis
7
Firms
  • Which firms develop stronger links with
    universities?
  • What benefits do firms gain from stronger links
    with universities?
  • What kind of links do they develop and how?

8
Which firms have stronger links with universities
in the U.S.?
  • absorptive capacity Firms in-house RDt-n
    (Cohen and Levinthal 1990)
  • absorptive capacity Firms connectedness to
    the open science community of which its
    investment in RD is just one of the several
    components (e.g. publishing papers with
    scientists outside the firm and engaging in
    research collaboration) (Lim 2000)

9
Which firms develop stronger links with
universities?
  • There are differences in the degree to which
    firms are capable of effectively utilizing
    university research to their benefit and these
    differences vary systematically with the degree
    to which firms are connected to the university
    (Cockburn and Henderson 1998)

10
Connectedness and Tacit Knowledge
  • Connectedness is only important because the
    knowledge associated with an invention is not
    completely transferred in the codified form of
    patents and publications but rather requires some
    form of interaction between the inventor and the
    recipient firm. (Agrawal 2001, p.291)
  • Thus, one of the most important benefits that
    firms get from stronger links with the community
    of science (including the universities) is access
    to tacit knowledge.

11
U.S. firms linked with the community of science
including star scientists have higher patent
productivity
  • Firms links with community of science (Lim 2000)
  • Firms links with star university scientists
    (Zucker et. al. 2000)

Firms patents productivity of important
patents Patents that have been registered in
at least two regions (US, EU, and Japan)

  • Other Firms
  • RD Labs
  • 2.Star university scientists

1. Community of Science
  • Sponsoring research
  • Participating in Research consortia
  • Partnering with other companies

Firm B
12
Channels of Knowledge Transfer
  • We have only begun to investigate the various
    channels by which knowledge is transferred to
    firms from the universities
  • Feldman and Breznitz (2009)
  • Formal channels that fall under the umbrella of
    the TTO sponsored research agreements with
    industry invention disclosures, patents
    licenses of university intellectual property to
    firms and the formation of spinoffs companies
  • Informal channels that do not fall under the
    umbrella of TTO industry hiring of students,
    faculty consulting, and knowledge trading among
    friendship networks
  • Are there cultural differences across countries?
  • There is a lack of longitudinal studies to test
    whether short term links lead to long-term links

15
Universities
  • What benefits do universities gain from stronger
    links with industry?

16
U.S. University Characteristics
  • Rapid growth in U.S. universities patenting and
    licensing activity after the Bayh-Dole Act of
    1980, which granted universities the right to
    license inventions that resulted from federally
    funded research? Has it shifted the average type
    of research from basic to more applied research?
    (Henderson et al 1998 Thursby and Thursby 2000)
  • Which technologies are more easily licensed?
    technologies in very early embryonic stages (50
    proof of concept and 50 lab-scale prototype)
    (Jensen and Thursby 1998)
  • What factors favor university spinoffs? (Di
    Gregorio and Shane 2000)
  • Licensing Activity ? Equity versus cash from
    royalties (Feldman et. al. 2000)

17
Has the Bayh-Dole Act shifted the average type of
research that is conducted at universities from
basic to more applied research?
  • Henderson et al (1998)
  • Patent quality measured by two variables (a)
    its importance? how many times is it cited in
    other patents. (b) its generality? in how many
    patent classes is it cited.
  • Comparing university patents with a 1 random
    sample of all patents in the U.S. during the
    1965-92 period, they find that the trends in the
    quality of university patents are similar to the
    trends in the 1 random sample of all patents.
  • Their data illustrates that while the Bayh-Dole
    Act has increased the propensity to patent, it
    has not resulted in a shift in the overall
    quality of patents generated at universities.

Quality of university patents 1965-92
Quality of a 1 sample of U.S. patents 1965-92
18
Has the Bayh-Dole Act shifted the average type of
research that is conducted at universities from
basic to more applied research?
  • Thursby and Thursby (2000)
  • Survey data from 65 U.S. universities
  • Their results suggest that the growth in
    licensing patented university inventions is
    driven primarily by an increase in professors
    propensity to patent and firms propensity to
    outsource RD by licensing, rather than a shift
    in the average type of research from more basic
    to applied.
  • Licensing growth universities function of
    propensity professors to patent, firms to
    outsource RD

19
Which factors have a positive effect on
university startups?
  • Di Gregorio and Shane (2000)
  • Intellectual eminence of professors
  • The possibility that the startup can offer equity
    rather than cash to university professors

20
Do universities that are more experienced and
successful at licensing are more likely to employ
equity than cash (royalties) in their licensing
agreements?
  • Feldman et al (2000)
  • Their results show that experienced university
    TTO are more likely to use equity, because
    although its use is more complex than cash, it
    may increase the option value of some
    technologies and also improve the alignment
    between universitys interests and those of the
    firm.

21
Set de Preguntas 2
  • Qué restricciones imponen las universidades
    colombianas a los investigadores que quieren
    licenciar su tecnología?
  • Qué apoyo brindan las universidades colombianas a
    los investigadores que quieren licenciar su
    tecnología?
  • Existe la posibilidad de que los investigadores o
    las universidades reciban acciones de las
    compañías en lugar de regalías en los acuerdos de
    licencias?
  • Cuáles universidades colombianas han tenido éxito
    en la creación de nuevas compañías?

U.S. Research and Development
  • By 1979, industry RD expenditures passed
    government spending growing more than three-folds
    after controlling for inflation between 1975 and
    2000 (Litan et al. 2007)

Set de Preguntas 3
  • Quién financia la mayor parte de la investigación
    en las universidades colombianas (el gobierno o
    la industria)?
  • Ha tenido la industria una participación
    creciente en la financiación de investigación en
    las universidades en los últimos 20 años?
  • Ha habido una caída en los recursos que las
    empresas dedican a financiar investigación en
    Colombia a partir del 2000?

27
Most Respected Literature on U-I Relationships in
the U.S.
  • Econometric models and estimation techniques
  • Limitation of this literature? Data provided by
    Association of University Technology Managers
    (AUTM) patents, licensing agreements,
    university startups.
  • policies that affect the vibrant trade in
    scientific knowledge for commercial applications
    that is not patented and does not flow through
    the university TTO have been largely overlooked.
    (Agrawal 2001, p. 294).
  • Non-patent channels of knowledge transfer have
    been overlooked.

28
Benefit to Firms and Universities
  • Funding from Licenses?
  • The median net royalty
  • per university respondent to
  • the AUTM surveys overall
  • climbed from 440,000 in 1996
  • to 950,000 in 2005.
  • Most royalties from licensing agreements
  • accrue to relatively few patents and relatively
  • few universities that hold them.
  • Research is starting to indicate that firms
  • will benefit significantly by investing in
  • the types of relationships that
  • are not necessarily in the presence
  • of efficient market such as those different from
  • patents and licensing agreements (e.g.,
    conferences, joint publications)

  • Both theoretical and empirical literature has
    shown that university research positively
    influences the capacity for innovation of the
    surrounding firms (Jaffe 1989 Mansfield 1991,

Technopolies
Why is it that Silicon Valley flourished while
Route 128 (Boston) declined in the 90s? SV
developed a decentralized but cooperative
industrial system while Route 128 came to
be dominated by independent, self-sufficient
corporations.
The technopolis wheel model, widely accepted as
a blueprint for Austins tech-driven future,
identified business, government, academia,
and business support groups, as the major players
in economic development.

In the early 1980s Austin was the state capital
and a university town with a cowboy/ranching
culture the city was NOT known for high tech.
Jobs were mostly in government and education
the area could not retain its educated talent.

In the late 1980s Austin was most known for see
through buildings and a depressed economy NOT
entrepreneurship, venture capital, and
technology-based growth.
