      abstract = {Taking German public basic research as an example, this  book explores how the ongoing implementation of knowledge  and technology transfer as the Third Mission of academic  science creates not only new incentives for academic  patenting, but also triggers new patenting motives and  strategies of researchers and organizations. Analyzing  these motives and strategies, the book highlights how the  complex regulatory interplay of the patent system, research  policy and self-governed academic communities creates a  situation in which new patent functions emerge: beyond  their intended function as a protection for upstream  inventions, patents become a signaling device for  scientists to communicate their commitment and competence  in the Third Mission. As an exploratory study, this book  combines qualitative empirical research with concepts and  insights from multiple fields such as economics, law,  political sciences and regulation. In consequence, the book  addresses anyone interested in patenting incentives and  motives and their impact on the functional change and  regulatory effectiveness of patents in polycentric  regulatory environments. About the author: With a  background in institutional economics and philosophy of  science, Michael Neumann joined the DFG graduate school on  intellectual Property and the Public Domain and the MPI for  Innovation and Competition to write this doctoral thesis.  He now works as a consultant on research and innovation  policy.},
