UNIVERSITY SPINOFF CHARACTERISTICS Over past two decades, the field of academic entrepreneurship has found greater visibility, and universities are being increasingly considered as a source for creation of high-technology firms. With greater attention focused on the linkage between science, technology, and university spinoffs, universities are moving from their traditional roles of research, teaching, and knowledge dissemination to a more advanced role of creating spinoffs and promoting academic entrepreneurship (Lerner, 2004).University Spinoffs: What, Why, and How?

UNIVERSITY SPINOFF CHARACTERISTICS • The parent organization from which the innovation emerges

has to be a university or academic institution• The output that is a university spinoff has to be a separate

legal entity and not an extension or controlled body of the university

• The new entity has to exploit knowledge produced from academic activities or academic pursuits

• The spinoff should be aimed at profit generation and commercialization of technology.
