      abstract = {This report presents the results of the first  international survey on the patenting and licensing  activities of public research organisations in OECD  countries. It includes data on the stock and number of  patents and licenses, the amount of licensing revenue, the  size and activities of technology transfer offices, the  types of licensing agreements concluded with firms, as well  as information on the government and institutional policies  for owning and exploiting intellectual property. In  addition to the survey results, policy makers, business  managers and university and research administrators will  find several case studies on how OECD countries are moving  to unlock the social and economic benefits of public  research. These case studies will also provide insight into  how research institutions deal with issues such as whether  to license a patent or create a spin-off, how to create  technology transfer programmes and how to license IP to  firms while preserving access for future research and  discovery.},
