TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate three outputs of academic activities: teaching, research and intellectual property rights activities and show that the effects of academic outputs on provincial economic growth (all sectors) are appreciable when they are associated with sustained entrepreneurial activities in the province.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the effects of the Innovation Act on the distribution of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) over academic scientists' inventions and find that before the Act, academic institutions had a strong tendency to leave such IPRs in the hands of their main funders, namely public research organizations (such as CNRS or INSERM), and business companies.

TL;DR: Results show that scientific publications by corporations challenge the novelty of patent applications at the European Patent Office (EPO) significantly more than other pieces of prior art, supporting the claim that corporate scientific publishing can be an effective means for firms to protect their freedom to operate if used as a complementary part of a firm's overall IP protection strategy.

TL;DR: This paper found that firms pursuing basic science are more likely to produce breakthrough inventions and that doing more basic science in science disciplines that are closely linked to a given technology domain does not increase the likelihood of BTs in that particular technology.
