本研究通过对日本专利信息的定量分析，考察了20世纪90年代后期实施大学产业合作政策后，大学产业合作（UIC）的性质和结果的变化。通过考察大学与产业的联合专利申请以及大学人员与企业研究人员的联合发明，探讨国立大学合并前的UIC的状况。我们的分析表明，这些政策在20世纪90年代后期增加了UIC专利的数量，而UIC专利的质量在此期间并没有下降。我们的研究表明，日本UIC政策在20世纪90年代后期提供了有利的结果一般。然而，大学推行的强有力的知识产权政策可能会减少公司将UIC合作产生的发明商业化的动力，因此应重新审查大学的专利政策。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This study is a quantitative analysis of Japanese patent information to examine the changes in the nature and the outcome of university-industry collaborations (UICs) following the enactment of UIC policies in the late 1990s. By considering UIC patents not only in joint university-industry patent applications but also in joint inventions organized by university personnel and corporate researchers, we discuss the status of UICs before the incorporation of national universities. Our analysis indicates that these policies increased the number of UIC patents in the late 1990s, while the quality of UIC patents does not fall over this period. Our study indicates that Japanese UIC policies in the late 1990's provide favorable results in general. However, strong IP policies pursued by universities may reduce the incentive for firms to commercialize inventions resulting from UIC collaborations, so that patent policies at university should be re-examined.
