scholarly journals Inventions for Industry. Canadian Patents and Development Limited and the Commercialization of University Research in Canada

From 1948 to 1991, Canadian Patents and Development Limited (CPDL) managed the commercialization of inventions and discoveries arising from government departments and agencies, as well as those disclosed to it by universities and others publicly funded organizations. The existence of CPDL, however, is rarely recognized in scholarship and discussions of Canadian science, technology, and innovation; its history is largely unobserved. This paper introduces a history of CPDL into the literature and contributes to a more complete understanding of the history of technology transfer in Canada. In so doing, this paper may help those interested in research commercialization understand the dynamics affecting technology transfer intermediary organizations and government policy instruments promoting the patenting and licensing of publicly funded research.

A new direction of science, technology and innovation policy, initiated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), has been investigated. The proposed OECD paradigm of new mission-oriented policies encompasses initiatives aimed at overcoming public challenges in the world and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (UN), which is especially relevant for Ukraine. The general characteristics of the instruments of political influence and interaction are given. These instruments are the “mix” of policies that aim to implement direct and indirect forms of support. The examples of developing the national strategic documents and supporting a sustainable economy in the OECD member countries are considered. Highly developed countries introduce special instruments that promote breakthrough innovations to implement strategic priorities. The OECD notes the feasibility of creating different types of institutions that will be responsible for defining national strategies and shaping science, technology and innovation policies. The challenges and trends of political support for innovative business by the OECD member countries are described. The governments of these countries are initiating the formation of new directions and the use of new public policy instruments, in particular: a combination of fiscal instruments and direct support instruments, simplified access to financing schemes and increased transparency through the creation of a “single window” or digital support services, etc.

O artigo visa a realizar uma análise da política de ciência, tecnologia e inovação brasileira a partir do campo teórico da Teoria das Convenções, uma perspectiva que surge na interface entre Sociologia e Economia através de um foco na contestação situacional da coordenação das ações. A ligação entre essas situações e a elaboração de políticas e instituições é formulada como um problema, procedendo-se à recapitulação histórica do processo de construção institucional científica e tecnológica brasileira, com especial atenção às políticas públicas de promoção das atividades de ciência e tecnologia nacionais e às conferências organizadas pelos governos e voltadas para a reflexão sobre a área. Dessa maneira, é possível realizar uma análise que identifica os princípios normativos (cités) envolvidos no processo de formulação, implementação e execução das políticas de ciência e tecnologia, possibilitando o clareamento das continuidades e descontinuidades de nossa trajetória histórica.Palavras chave: Teoria das Convenções; Política de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação; História da Ciência e Tecnologia no Brasil; Sociologia da Crítica.The article aims to conduct an analysis of Brazilian science, technology and innovation policies departing from the convention theory, a perspective that arises at the interface between sociology and economics through a focus on the situational contestation of the coordination of actions. The connection between these situations and the elaboration of policies and institutions is formulated as a problem, proceeding to the historical recapitulation of the historical process of building Brazilian scientific and technological institutions, with special attention to Science and technology public policies and conferences organized by the governments which focused to promote debate over the subject. In this way, it is possible to carry out an analysis that identifies the normative principles (cités) involved in the process of formulation, implementation and execution of the policies of science and technology, allowing to clarify continuities and discontinuities of brazilian historical trajectory.Keywords: Convention Theory; Science, Technology and Innovation Policy; History of Science and Technology in Brazil; Sociology of Critical Capacity.
