英文文献摘要:
This work exploits information on U.S. patents to identify trends in university ag-biotech patenting and citation performance. It sets forth some key issues concerning patterns of university ag-biotech patenting and then provides an empirical analysis on the evolving trends. Land Grant Universities account for most U.S. ag-biotech patents. The data show a path dependent innovation pattern, in which there also seems to be a culture of patenting that develops at certain universities. Evidence shows that ag-biotech patents are more cited than the average university patent. Inequalities across Land Grant Universities are also evident in the production of ag-biotech patents, although perhaps not to a much greater degree than underlying inequalities in funding and research qualities. The paper closes by considering how the evidence offered might be used to advance the public discussion regarding trends in agricultural biotechnology research in the U.S.
这项工作利用美国专利信息,以确定大学农业生物技术专利申请和引用性能的趋势。阐述了高校农业生物技术专利行为模式的几个关键问题,并对其演变趋势进行了实证分析。美国大部分农业生物技术专利都是由政府授予的大学获得的。数据显示出一种路径依赖的创新模式,在这种模式下,某些大学似乎也形成了一种专利文化。证据表明,农业生物技术专利比普通大学专利被更多地引用。在农业生物技术专利的生产方面,各大学之间的不平等也很明显,尽管这种不平等可能不会比资助和研究质量方面的根本不平等大得多。论文最后考虑了如何利用所提供的证据来推动有关美国农业生物技术研究趋势的公众讨论
