Abstract: The research paper concentrates on two academic patent policies applied in the European Union, con-cretely on the American theory of Bayh Dole Act and the classic European Professors´ Privilege. Our paper studies the differences between the mentioned theories. According to Bayh Dole Act the legal ownership of the registered academic patent goes to the institution from where the academic patent was registered from, while the patent policy Professors´ Privilege gives the ownership right to the person or group of people, who have worked on the creation of the intellectual property and on the process of its registration. Furthermore, concentrates on the American patent policy and on the results happening just after of its implication. We show if some significant changes have happened in the activity of academic patent registration as a reaction of the usage of the Bayh Dole Act patent policy.
