      abstract = {Knowledge generation and transfer mechanisms are being  transformed in important and controversial ways. Investment  in research and development has increased in response to  recognition that scientific productivity is tightly  connected to economic dynamism. Patent protection has been  expanded in order to stimulate higher levels of private  investment. Intellectual property rights held by public  organizations and researchers are now increasingly  transferred to private organizations to accelerate the  diffusion and enhance the value of knowledge produced by  public agencies and universities. Additionally, new  institutions such as university offices of technology  transfer, venture capital markets, and a variety of  consortia in knowledge-intensive industries are being  established throughout the United States and in other parts  of the world. These changes have led to a repositioning of  the state in systems of innovation and an increase in the  proprietary character of technical information.},
