Some other stuff

[edit]
  • The Kauffman Foundation strongly supports entrepreneurship and has studied/tracked the field of tech transfer. Lots of good stuff on their website that you could use for sourcing, including this overview report.
  • Interestingly around 2009 Kauffman began advocating for "inventor free-agency" - namely that bayh-dole should be changed to allow inventors to take their inventions anywhere. They viewed the system established by bayh-dole as monopolistic and inefficient. See Stangler, Carl Schramm, Robert Litan And Dane (6 November 2009). "New Business, Not Small Business, Is What Creates Jobs". Wall Street Journal.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) and especially Litan, Robert E.; Mitchell, Lesa (January–February 2010). "The HBR List: Breakthrough Ideas for 2010: 6: A Faster Path from Lab to Market". Harvard Business Review.
  • Another stream of criticism is that by over-enthusiastically patenting inventions, tech transfer offices create patent thickets and a tragedy of the anticommons. Rebecca Eisenberg and Michael Heller have been the main proponents of that (discussed in the "tragedy" WP article)
  • Great piece from Stanford's history department about why Stanford is so successful, here.
