Designing technology licensing contracts Vlerick Business School
Getting more than you bargained for? An analysis of the antecedents and performance effects of technology licensing. KU Leuven
The purpose of this project is to gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between technology licensing and firms’ technological performance. We aim to provide insights into the role of internal patent portfolios as a determinant of a firm’s decision to engage in licensing and its impact on subsequent technological performance. First, we investigate what types of technology firms tend to in-license, and how this affects the composition of ...
Designing Technology Licensing Contracts KU Leuven
Intellectual property rights are fundamental to value appropriation
from innovation in high-tech industries. Within these industries,
companies frequently out-license technologies as an alternative to
commercializing technologies themselves. Recent studies have
argued that the potential for value appropriation and learning from
technology licensing depends on the design of licensing contracts.
Our research aims ...
Exploration and preclinical validation of myeloid cell pathways as novel targets and biomarkers for fibrosis development in IBD Ghent University
1) Because existing anti-inflammatory IBD therapies do not reduce the risk of fibrosis, the
innovation delivered by FIBRO-TARGET twofold. First, we will be novel and preclinical
provide validated targets for small molecule and / or biological development
molecules as drug candidates against fibrosis complications in IBD patients. Second
FIBRO-TARGET wants to ...

Patent value predictions using interpretable machine learning. KU Leuven
By applying machine learning and NLP techniques to the information contained in patent documents we will develop a model for the valuation of patents. Such information will help firms in optimizing their patent portfolio, or, in price-setting of patents for licensing and patent transfers. There are three different work packages, the first one regarding the white spaces of the business environment. Secondly, regarding the timing, this relates ...
New perspectives on intellectual property rights: empirical evidence at the firm-level. KU Leuven
The economic literature in intellectual property rights (IPR) is vast, as IPR policies are often seen as main incentive schemes for innovation in the business sector and thus also economic growth and welfare. This project aims to contribute to the lively debate on IPRs and corresponding policies in three dimensions:
(i) In the debate on the value of patents it is often argued that new patents result in higher market value of firms. ...
