Answer the questions:

  1. What are the 5 top Universities in this field?
    • Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
    • Understand and identify cases where these universities are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons based approach. Are they adopting OA policies, for instance? Are they adopting Social Responsible License approaches?
    • Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
    • Identify what universities are the “Microsofts” of the field and what companies are the “IBMs” of the field (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant questions)


  • Pressman, L. et al., 2006 The Pressman article reports on an interview which investigates DNA patents at Universities in the United States. The focus of the article is split between: (Pressman, L. et al., 2006)
    • patenting and out-licensing strategies of
    • licensing negotiations: exclusivity, uses, and terms
    • Protection of non-patented technologies: MTAs, NDAs
  • Institutions chosen for the study had patents of inventions using human DNA and both for profit and non-profits were sampled. The study found that for profit and non-profit entities approach patent and licenses differently:
    • Patenting Behavior (Pressman, L. et al., 2006)
      • For profits more often fill patent applications for all new technologies and then deciding what to pursue based on commercial interest.
      • Non-profits were more selective about when to apply for a patent.
    • Licensing Behavior (Pressman, L. et al., 2006)
      • For both entities, licensing was most often used as a method of commercialization. Licensing for research was very infrequent.
      • One important difference found was that nonprofits were more than twice as likely to license exclusively as compared to for-profit companies.
