Das Patentierverhalten akademischer Gründer nach Abschaffung des Hochschullehrerprivilegs

Abstract

Akademische Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer müssen seit der Abschaffung des Hochschullehrer-privilegs im Jahr 2002 ihre Erfindungen gegenüber den Hochschulen offenlegen und können nicht unmittelbar frei über deren Verwertung verfügen. Wir untersuchen, welchen Einfluss diese Gesetzes-novelle auf das Patentierverhalten akademischer Unternehmer ausübt. Grundsätzlich sind fördernde und hemmende Einflüsse sowohl vor als auch nach vollzogener Ausgründung denkbar. Analysen von 206 Hochschulausgründungen zeigen, dass sich vor und nach der Gesetzesnovelle gegründete Spin-Offs in ihrem Patentierverhalten nicht unterscheiden. Allerdings ist ein Anstieg von Patentanmeldungen zu verzeichnen, die von Hochschule und Gründern/Spin-Off gemeinsam angemeldet werden.
