Summary

Commercialization of public research to support economic growth involves the transfer of knowledge produced by public research organizations to private sector businesses or government agencies. This chapter describes the diverse range of national and institutional policies and practices implemented across countries to encourage knowledge transfer between public research organizations and firms. The chapter largely focuses on the IP licensing model, highlighting its advantages and disadvantages, and discusses how the costs of IP-mediated knowledge transfer can be minimized. It outlines the main reasons for collecting knowledge transfer metrics for licensing – for benchmarking, for identifying factors that support or hinder knowledge transfer, and for informing policy. The chapter also identifies the most commonly used methods for collecting knowledge transfer metrics, and discusses basic metrics that all countries should collect on the IP licensing model, plus supplementary metrics of relevance to specific policy issues.
