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.
