Descrição: Intellectual property (IP) is a critical asset for the growth of university spin-offs. Since the IP usually belongs to the parent university, spin-offs must find an agreement on how to access it. However, there is little evidence on how universities’ technology transfer offices (TTOs) and spin-offs find this agreement. This study aims to shed light on this process. Drawing on four Swiss and German TTOs and 12 related spin-offs, the authors provide insights into navigating through this process. The data reveal that both parties face four critical tensions while negotiating: (1) TTO’s success might hamper spin-offs’ success; (2) TTO owns the IP but is no IP protection advisor; (3) need for standardized, yet tailored processes; (4) spin-off’s independence, yet further dependence on the university. The authors further determine implications from this study that help to overcome these tensions.
