| Abstract: | In this paper, explored is the degree to which patents are representative of the magnitude, direction, and impact of the knowledge spilling out of the university by focusing on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT , USA). Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data, it is shown that patenting is minority activity. Majority of the faculty in this sample never patent, and publication rates far outstrip patenting rates. The results also suggest that in two important ways patenting is not representative of the patterns of knowledge generation and transfer from MIT patent volume does not predict publication volume, and those firms that cite MIT papers are in general not the same firms as those that cite MIT patents. |
