DESCRIPTION:Prof. Uwe Dulleck\, Queensland University of Technology\n"Are 
 University Patents Better Than Those Of Corporation?"\n\nRésumé\n\nEncou
 raging inventors to disclose their new inventions is one of the top two ec
 onomic justi- fications of the patent system. Some scholars argue that dis
 closure function does not work well in real world\, because the technical 
 information contained in patent documents is of- ten inadequate and unclea
 r Lemley (2012). However\, there are quite few research so far studying th
 e extent of patent disclosure occurred in real world. In this paper\, we f
 irstly in- troduce computational linguistic program into patent documents 
 to measure the readability of patents and we then use readability as an in
 dex to study the disclosure level of patents. By comparing the readability
  of patents applied by universities and practicing firms in the industry o
 f nanotechnology during 2009 to 2012\, we find that our linguistic indicat
 ors show that university patents are significantly easier to comprehend. T
 his result implies that the difference of disclosure level between differe
 nt patent documents is not random and appli- cants may strategically choos
 e different disclosure levels for their patent documents.\n
