This thesis aims to explore the role and impact of collaborative patenting on the "quality" of Biotechnology and Nanotechnology patents in Quebec. We examine a number of measures or proxy measures that are normally associated with the "quality" of patents. This study seeks to answer the following question: Is there any association between university-industry collaboration attributes and a patent's quality? The collaboration network includes university and industrial researchers and scientists (Motohashi & Muramatsu, 2012). Furthermore, the ownership of academic patents by corporations is often addressed as one of the essential channels of university-industry ties (Bray & Lee, 2000; Bulut & Moschini, 2009; Y. Wang et al., 2015; Y. Wang, Huang, et al., 2013; Y. Wang, Pan, et al., 2013). According to prior exploratory studies in patenting and intellectual property, there is a lack of attention given to the impact of the co- patenting network on the patent "quality" in Canada. In this research we explore the impact of these networks, represented by inventors' and assignees' ties to universities and corporations. Furthermore, particular factors including funding, inventors' career age, characteristics of the inventors' co-network, and publications are used to estimate the "quality" of joint patents granted to Canadian inventors and/or organisations. Sterzi (2013) found that academic patents owned by firms are of a higher quality when initially assigned to the universities. This study aims to measure the impact of the patent ownership structure on patent "quality", when the university-industry linkage is considered.

520 $a This thesis aims to explore the role and impact of collaborative patenting on the "quality" of Biotechnology and Nanotechnology patents in Quebec. We examine a number of measures or proxy measures that are normally associated with the "quality" of patents. This study seeks to answer the following question: Is there any association between university-industry collaboration attributes and a patent's quality? The collaboration network includes university and industrial researchers and scientists (Motohashi & Muramatsu, 2012). Furthermore, the ownership of academic patents by corporations is often addressed as one of the essential channels of university-industry ties (Bray & Lee, 2000; Bulut & Moschini, 2009; Y.

According to prior exploratory studies in patenting and intellectual property, there is a lack of attention given to the impact of the co- patenting network on the patent "quality" in Canada. In this research we explore the impact of these networks, represented by inventors' and assignees' ties to universities and corporations. Furthermore, particular factors including funding, inventors' career age, characteristics of the inventors' co-network, and publications are used to estimate the "quality" of joint patents granted to Canadian inventors and/or organisations. Sterzi (2013) found that academic patents owned by firms are of a higher quality when initially assigned to the universities. This study aims to measure the impact of the patent ownership structure on patent "quality", when the university-industry linkage is considered.
520 $a We investigated the "quality" of patents generated by academic inventors in Canada and assigned to the university or the government and compared it with the "quality" of patents privately held by industry. The first question that this research addresses is: Are patents generated by at least one academic inventor (residing in Canada) and assigned to the university of a lesser "quality" than those owned by a firm? Likewise, in regard to the role of government, as an entity of the public sector, we pose the following question: Are patents generated by at least one academic inventor (residing in Canada) and assigned to the government of a lesser "quality" than those owned by an industry firm? To answer the above questions we estimated the impact of government assignees and academic assignees on patent "quality", in order to compare the impacts of the public assignees and industrial assignees on invention "quality".
520 $a Furthermore, this study seeks to explain how the inventors' specific characteristics influence the "quality" of patents that stem from university-industry collaboration. Therefore, this thesis also aims to answer the following question: How do the researchers' characteristics affect their opportunities to generate patents of a higher "quality"? Variables such as career age and collaboration with prestigious patent inventors are considered. Moreover, we observed the impact of the co-invention and co-authorship network characteristics on patent "quality". We therefore measured whether patents generated by inventors that are highly centralized in the co-inventor or co-authorship networks are of a higher "quality" than patents created by inventors that occupy less centralized positions. Furthermore, this research aims to assess whether patents issued from a patent-paper pair or patent-grant pair are of a higher "quality" than those without such a link, i.e. articles and patents published by the same teams and on the same research topics and application objects.
