Technology transfer offices have been created to improve this trade flows between university research and industry through the patenting and marketing of research in universities and promote the use of university technology startups. This article examines the case of technology transfer. Patenting university degree is still very small compared with the industry, and technology transfer income is still very low compared with the budgets of the research university.
