To do so, we rely on a matched sample approach to compare the spillovers generated by academic and firm patents using measures that take into account knowledge spilling-in and knowledge spilling-out of academia. Although it is true that knowledge exchanges among universities may inflate the overall spillovers of university patents vis-à-vis firm patents, our results indicate that university patents generate more spillovers than a comparable sample of matched corporate patents, even when knowledge flows among universities are not regarded as spillovers. This suggests that, in our sample, firm technologies more frequently rely on academic patents than on technologies from other corporations. In addition, we find that the gap between university and industry spillovers differs across industries, with industries where patents are important for appropriating returns from R&D (i.e. more economically valuable), such as drugs, presenting a smaller gap than in industries with complex technologies (where firms have strong incentives to patent aggressively), such as computers. Finally, we show that industry patents generate more spillovers locally and that academic knowledge spillovers are less geographically localized than those of corporate research. 000047903 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000047903 590__ $$aPublished online: 2020 000047903 650_0 $$aPatents 000047903 650_0 $$aUniversities 000047903 7001_ $$aMoreira, Solon,$$vauthor. 000047903 7001_ $$aSoares, Thiago J.,$$eauthor. 000047903 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000047903 830_0 $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change$$vINCC 2020, 29(5), 1145-1165 000047903 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtaa011 000047903 904__ $$aJournal article 000047903 980__ $$aINCC
