Differences in technology transfer between science-based and development based industries: transfer mechanisms and barriers (2011, background): “In this way, our study may inform the policy debate by suggesting an alternative policy approach that may have been undervalued until now (Berman, 2008; Kenney and Patton, 2009; Ponomari v nd Boardman, 2008; Boardman and Ponomariov, 2009).”
Models and Methods of University Technology Transfer (2013, positive): “Kenney and Patton (2009) build on these options to present two alternative invention commercialization models.”
Academic Entrepreneurship: Time for a Rethink? (2015, positive): “…of Bayh-Dole Act type regulation has not been as great as anticipated (Grimaldi, et al., 2011) and that there is a need to vest ownership of university technology with the researcher inventor and to adopt an open source strategy to make inventions publicly available (Kenney and Patton, 2009).”
University technology transfer office business models: One size does not fit all (2018, background): “…at nearly every U.S. university is ineffective for entrepreneurship due to the ownership-model of patents (Colyvas et al., 2002; Owen-Smith, 2005, Kenney and Patton, 2009), we suggest that policy makers should rethink performance metrics and take a broad approach that emphasizes relational and…”
Complements or Substitutes? The Role of Universities and Local Context in Supporting the Creation of Academic Spin-offs (2011, neutral): “Although its net effects have been questioned (Kenney and Patton, 2009), even the harshest critics recognize that it contributed to raising the overall awareness that US universities could play an active role in technology transfer, including licensing, patents, university–industry collaborations, t”
University Patenting in Germany before and after 2002: What Role Did the Professors' Privilege Play? (2012, background): “It is also consistent with anecdotal evidence from the USA (cf. Kenney and Patton, 2009, and the references therein).”
The Effectiveness of University Knowledge Spillovers: Performance Differences between University Spinoffs and Corporate Spinoffs (2011, methodology): “This dataset also has the important attribute that, unlike many other studies of university spinoffs (Kenney and Patton, 2009), it does not rely on data provided by TTOs which may understate the extent of spinoff activity.”
From the entrepreneurial university to the university for the entrepreneurial society (2012, background): “…an effort to penetrate such a formidable knowledge filter, the Congress enacted the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980.7 The Bayh-Dole Act was passed into law by the Congress with the goal of promoting the commercialization of university science (Kenney and Patton 2009; Link and Siegel 2005; Link et al. 2007).”
The research university, entrepreneurship and regional development: Research propositions and current evidence (2012, background): “…that this did not have the intended positive impact on commercialization of federally funded research results (Litan, Mitchell, and Reedy 2007) and that the current university ownership model might not be optimal in encouraging entrepreneurship (Mowery and Sampat 2005; Kenney and Patton 2009).”
Does inventor ownership encourage university research-derived entrepreneurship? A six university comparison (2011, neutral): “(Litan et al., 2007; Kenney and Patton, 2009) and increasingly n Europe (Geuna and Nesta, 2006; Fini et al.”
Academic entrepreneurship, technology transfer and society: where next? (2014, background): “Some have also questioned whether the institutional arrangements to commercialize research are socially optimal (Kenney and Patton 2009).”
On open innovation, platforms, and entrepreneurship (2018, background): “Some have argued that we should vest ownership of university technology with the inventor and that we should adopt an open source strategy to make inventions publicly available (Kenney & Patton, 2009).”
