Global Higher Education Technology Transfer Office Benchmarks
Primary Research Group, May 2011, Pages: 227
The report presents more than 230 pages of detailed data, commentary and analysis based on information provided by 35 university technology transfer offices in the USA, the UK and Europe. The study presents highly detailed information on budgets, staffing, use of internal and external legal services, partnerships, marketing efforts, faculty relations, and many other issues of concern to directors of higher education technology transfer offices and those who cooperate with or oversee them in industry and academic administration.
Just a few of the reports many findings:
- The survey shows the number university technology transfer employees globally will continue to rise by 8.46% in 2011 over 2010.
- The mean number of employees in the tech transfer office globally with more than 5 years of services was 4.04
University tech transfer offices specializing in energy and engineering/informatics were the most likely to use legal help from other university departments.
- Technology transfer offices paid outside law firms an average fee of $297.72 per hour in 2010.
- University partnerships with other universities will rise by 20% in 2011. Non USA universities accounted for almost all of the university to university partnering in the sample.
- US universities on average generate about 68% more invention disclosures than universities abroad.
- Less than a third of those surveyed send out paper versions of press releases; more than 44% of non-USA survey participants did so, as did 75% of hospitals and 50% of those institutions focused on energy technology.
Data in the study is broken out by geographic region, type of institution, enrollment of institution, size of technology transfer office and industry area that generates the most revenue for the office. Each participating technology transfer office fully completed a detailed questionnaire on staffing, salaries, budgets, legal services used internally and externally, public relations, marketing internally and externally, library services use,, and partnering activities, among other issues.
The report was overseen and written by James Moses, President of Primary Research Group, and Joseph R Flicek, who established the New Ventures Office of the Science & Technology Ventures Office at Columbia University and served as Director from 1996 to 2002.
