My experience with faculty members is that it is not much.From an administrative perspective, patents can represent a revenue source for universities. This will be evaluated positively by accreditation entities since there are alternative revenue streams not just enrollment.
Universities and other PRIs are no longer seen only as net contributors to the repository of basic knowledge, but also, and increasingly, as direct contributors to the flow of inventions
In addition to commercialization, a patent has the legal value of novelty. In addition, it is no different from an article that is paid for. There is a description of the methodology, devices, practical conclusions.
