Academic Patenting in Europe
(APE-INV): An Overview
APE-INV ‘s main features
Database Harmonization project [which] ...
… aims at re-classifying patents by inventors [and]
… promote(s) the collection of cross-country data
… on European universities’ contribution to patenting
Research Networking Programme … no direct funding of research activities
… provision of infrastructure and discussion forums
… to help laying the foundations of national research initiatives
APE-INV ‘s sponsors
Background: From university patents to academic inventors Trajtenberg M., Henderson R., Jaffe A. (1992) “Ivory Tower Versus Corporate Lab: An Empirical Study of Basic Research and Appropriability”, NBER Working Paper Series 4146

• … many more papers based on INVENTOR DATA
Patent applications
Standardisation of company names/addresses/parent co.
Company-level data
INVENTOR DISAMBIGUATION
Inventor-level data set:ID, address(es)
Publicaton number,
priority date, IPC class, citations
etc.
INVENTOR-BASED DATA
INVENTOR-PROFESSOR
MATCHING EXERCISE
What did we know (that we did not know before…)?• Academic patenting is not just university patenting IP
ownership
• Academic patenting is not just a US phenomenon
• “Open Science” vs “Private technology”:Complementarity at the individual levelTrade-off at the systemic level
What didn’t we know (yet..)?• Inventors’ incentives and strategies
• Ownership: How good are universities as IP asset managers?
• Academic patenting outside the US: Is it increasing? In quantity? In quality? We need longitudinal data!
• Inventor data: How to improve quality? How to get feedbacks?
APE-INV project!
APE-INV’s objectivesMAIN:M1. to share expertise and methods for the
creation of an inventors’ database;
M2. to share expertise and methods for matching the inventors’ database with national databases of academic scientists produce comparable counts of acad. patenting activity collect auxiliary information on academic inventors;
M3. to produce a freely available database on “academic patenting in Europe”
SUBSIDIARYS1. to produce one or more joint publications;
S2. to devise a method for collecting the database users’ feedbacks on the quality of the data.
M1. creation of an inventor database S2. method for collecting the database
users’ feedbacks Data repository and feedback platform
2806516 inventors 2032701/2481582 individuals
2200000 patents (EPO applications, 1978-2010) Reference source: Worldwide Patent Statistical
Database (PatStat), issued by the European Patent Office (EPO)
M2. produce comparable counts of academic patenting
M3. free database on “academic patenting in Europe”
APE-INV country datasets: “PUBLN_NR” + “Academ. dummy”
BOTH ON APE-INV website’s DB page ( front page http:/www.academicpatenting.eu)
