Title: Academic Patenting: Opportunity, Support or Attitude? 
Abstract:I provide evidence that university-industry collaboration is important for turning commercial opportunities into patents. 
I find that the number of publications and the support provided by the university are not conclusive in explaining 
a researcher's propensity to patent. Controlling for a  ariety of individual and departmental characteristics I 
find that research sponsored by industry is most likely to produce patents and more likely to produce patents 
owned by industry.
