In a recent study 239 technology licensing officers at 88 leading research universities were asked, when shown an invention and a picture of its supposed inventor "if the inventor wanted to start a company to commercialize this technology, how much would you try to dissuade that person?" Though the only difference between these randomly assigned pictures was the gender of the individual, a disproportionate number of licensing officers showed preference to support male inventors over their female counterparts.
In "How Universities Fail Women Inventors" BVR welcomes Scott Shane, the A. Malcolm Mixon III Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, for an in-depth examination of how preferences and prejudices involving gender, race, industry experience, and professionalism affect the decisions of licensing officers, the futures of inventors, and the impact of their inventions.
Agenda
The economic impact of start-up companies emerging from universities
The role of licensing officers given property rights ownership and the allocation of resources
The influence of inventor identity over licensing officers
How gender, race, industry experience and the ease with which the inventor can work with others all affect licensing officer support for start-ups
The implications of these preferences (and possible biases) and offer suggestions to universities for managing/changing them
Learning Objectives
Learn how universities allocate resources and make decisions regarding new inventions and other intellectual properties developed by students and faculty
Understand the role and influence of licensing officers in these transactions
See how unseen preferences and biases affect the university, inventor, and invention
