14 Evaluation of the Act on Inventions [ ] (1) Report of May 2004 (Inside Consulting/Fri Agent/COWI): General acceptance of the act a good a well functioning frame for commercialisation of research Also among researchers a growing acceptance some are, however, sceptical, but for various reasons; the whole concept of commercialising research, the changed ownership and/or the institutions efforts in commercialising A continuing acceptance is dependant on the institutions future commercialisation results

15 Evaluation of the Act on Inventions [ ] (2) Report of May 2004 (Inside Consulting/Fri Agent/COWI): The institutions performing the best have the broadest variation in competences (legal, technical, commercial) use more resources (man hours, financial means) is characterised by a high managerial engagement (focus, strategy)

20 What is the Tech Transfer Mission? The prime mission of the technology transfer office is to assist in the transfer of knowledge from the university to industry small deals, big deals, small agreements, big agreements, huge amounts of money, in-kind support. The consequence of focusing too much on income would turn us into very difficult partners for industry as we would always drive a hard bargain to squeeze as much money out of our industrial partners as possible. Our technology transfer staff would only concentrate on the potentially big deals in monetary terms, and not on deals or agreements which may not bring in that much money to the university but may have twice as much impact in society. This should not be the focus of a publicly funded university, a university funded by tax-payers money. Professor R. Hemmingsen, Vice-Chancellor, University of Copenhagen, AUTM, San Francisco, 2007

21 BACKGROUND Børsen Erhvervsliv raser over universiteterne - Universiteterne opbygger og bemander større og større techtransenheder, som primært har fokus på patentering, men også fjerner kommercialiseringsinitiativet fra de dygtige forskere, der selv har evnerne til at kommercialisere deres forskning. Samtidig har universiteterne brugt mange penge på patentsøgninger, som samler støv på hylden uden at være blevet kommercialiseret og omsat til fakturaer, siger advokat Michael Alvstrøm. Hos Københavns Universitet kalder universitetsdirektør Jørgen Honoré kritikken for urimelig: - Stærke tech-transenheder er forudsætningen for, at universiteterne kan øge samarbejdet med erhvervslivet. Jo mere forpligtende samarbejdsprojekter, jo større behov for detaljerede aftaler, siger han til Ingeniøren.

22 BACKGROUND Børsen Fremgang i samarbejdet mellem forskningsinstitutioner og industri Af Søren A. Mikkelsen, prodekan ved det jordbrugsvidenskabelige fakultet ved Aarhus Universitet: Over de sidste par år er der sket et mærkbart løft i samarbejdet mellem offentlige forskningsinstitutioner og det private erhvervsliv. Der opfindes mere, og der sælges og samarbejdes mere. Siden vi oprettede vores patent- og kontraktenheder på de offentlige forskningsinstitutioner omkring år 2000, har der været fokus på kommercialiseringen af forskningsresultater. Det kan vi se på de tørre tal fra Videnskabsministeriets statistik, som viser, at ikke blot antallet af opfindelser, men også antallet af solgte patenter og licenser til erhvervslivet samt antallet af spinoff-virksomheder er steget markant over de sidste par år.

23 BACKGROUND Børsen Aalborg Universitet scorer på forskning Det er de seneste tal fra Patent- og Kontraktenheden på Aalborg Universitet, der viser, at det langsigtede arbejde med forskning og kommercialisering nu direkte kommer til udtryk i et overskud på bundlinjen. - Med årene er vi blevet bedre til at kommercialisere de bedste ideer, og forskere er også selv blevet langt mere opmærksomme på, hvilke muligheder, der findes, så dette er også en cadeau til de implicerede medarbejdere, siger [dekan] Frede Blaabjerg og tilføjer, at overskuddet kommer flere år før, det var forventet.

24 BACKGROUND JyllandsPosten Universiteter sælger færre licenser Universiteterne må lempe lidt på kravene til de virksomheder, der skal købe deres opfindelser. Det mener forskningsminister Helge Sander, som råder universiteterne til at være mere afslappede i forhold til deres forventninger til, hvor mange millioner, de kan få ud af det. For når samfundet poster så mange penge i universiteterne, så må vi ikke tabe muligheden for, at frugten af universiteternes arbejde kommer samfundet til gavn, mener han.
