The Bayh-Dole Act is suggested to promote the increase of patent amounts in the universities, but patent quality has dramatically decreased. The Science & Technology Basic Law in Taiwan serves similar purpose as the Bayh-Dole Act, but we do not know if Taiwan encounters the same problem. This study investigates the patenting activities of the universities in Taiwan which were funded by the aim for the top university project after Science & Technology Basic Law implemented 20 years. We extend the perspective of professional service-sales ambidexterity to science-technology collaboration, indicating that paper publication and patenting are not conflict. We use patenting data between 1976 and 2019 from 18 universities. The data were searched from Google Patents and Patents View, including patent counts, citedby counts, maintenance decision, co-assigned patent, patent licensing and patent re-assignment. The analytical results represented that after the implementation of the science and technology basic laws, universities put emphasis on patenting useful research results, increasing their patenting numbers and they learned how to evaluate patent quality and appraise the value of patents. Moreover, the universities recognize the co-assign, re-assign and license patents to enterprises can bring more value to the universities. The universities can form their patent management strategy and identify important fields in future development. The results provide the evidence of professional service-sales ambidexterity to science-technology collaboration can bring value to the universities, as well as each university should set its core field to further collaborate or develop the technology, which brings positive impacts to entrepreneurial university and academic entrepreneurship. |
