The model was originally adapted primarily for the United States and is mentioned as one of the results of the patents, not only acquired patents (patents filed), but only registered patents (issued patents). About patents as a result of commercialization is necessary to think, because basically patents themselves do not constitute commercialization and does not directly bring in revenue. Model also mentions refers to "start-up" companies (Y3), but, generally speaking, those companies that have arisen as a result of scientific research public institutions. So it would be more appropriate to speak of a university spin-offih.
It is also necessary that normally literature and practice in the general distinction between the concepts of licensing and university spin-offs. Therefore, the presented model is to be understood in this context, to use the term university licensing as a generic term for the commercialization of knowledge, which includes only licensing (license agreement between the university college laboratories and businesses to use precise technology) as well as the spin-off. .
There are many other models that describe the process of technology transfer (souder, et al., 1990). Soudersov model ( Figure 2 ) on the transfer of technology, resulting in eight models for technology transfer. It is one of the general design, because not only focuses on technology transfer from the academy to industry, but also the transfer of technology in general. It consists of the following four steps:.
The exploratory phase, which consists of research, analytical and decision-making moments dedicated to the review of alternative concepts, technologies and selecting those that meet the requirements of users.The focus of this first research phase of the preliminary analysis, and search and review.
The development phase consists of physical and laboratory research focused on improvement, development and adaptation of selected technologies from the research phase to the end user requirements.
