The document discusses two models for university innovation and technology transfer: a patent-centric "gatekeeper" model and an innovation-centric "enabler" model. The innovation-centric model focuses on a broader range of activities beyond patents like collaborative R&D, publishing, entrepreneurship programs, and community engagement. This model aims to add social and economic value to the community through contributions like support for local businesses and startups. The document advocates for the progressive and open innovation-centric model.
