Our evidence, which builds on a database that matches research institutions to a sample of their patent applications, indicates patent applications to the European Patent Office (EPO) filed by research institutions grew faster than industry patents. Those jointly filed by industry and research institutions grew even faster. However, research institutions’ share in patent applications remains low and their ratio of patents granted to applications is below that of industry. An econometric analysis at postal code level shows that geographical proximity to research institutions is associated with higher industry patenting. Results from an instrumental variable estimation indicate that research institutions positively influence local industry patenting, including in life sciences and digital technologies UR - https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/d52d6176-en.pdf?expires=1570174834&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=F4810AFE58D8E46559D8B2959731E672 UR - https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/science-and-technology/cross-country-evidence-on-the-contributions-of-research-institutions-to-innovation_d52d6176-en ER -
