越来越多的学术文献调查了阻碍女性研究人员参与专利申请和商业化活动的因素;然而，只有有限的研究审查了解决这些形式的性别差距的政策。在本文中，我们探讨了大学专利的所有权安排和存在的大学一级的支持措施，如技术转让办公室和与科技园区的联系是否与妇女参与学术专利。我们测试我们的假设，在1996-2007年期间由意大利发明家的2538学术专利的样本。我们的分析结果强调了大学政策在解决技术转让活动中性别差距方面的积极作用。
A growing stream of the academic literature has investigated the factors that hamper the participation of women researchers in patenting and commercialization activities; however, limited research has examined the policies that address these forms of the gender gap. In this paper, we explore whether the ownership arrangements of university patents and the presence of university-level support measures such as technology transfer offices and linkages with science and technology parks are positively associated with women’s involvement in academic patenting. We test our hypotheses on a sample of 2538 academic patents by Italian inventors in the period 1996–2007. The results of our analyses highlight a positive role of university policies in addressing the gender gap in technology transfer activities.
