Emperor Trumpatine continues to abuse his power. This time, he's using Moff Nutlick to do his dirty work.


Aug 8 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Friday ordered a comprehensive review of Harvard University's federally funded research programs, and threatened to take title to or grant licenses from the school's lucrative portfolio of patents.

In a letter to University President Alan Garber and obtained by Reuters, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accused Harvard of breaching its legal and contractual requirements tied to the research programs and patents.


 
There is no good reason why patents derived from publicly funded research should be privately held or exist at all for that matter.
 
Harvard's been sucking on the public teet since forever. Legally and illegally. Time for some comeuppance.

So...you are on the side of the alleged law breakers?

Barron definitely wanted to go to Harvard.
 
I'm on the side of sanity.
What exactly is sane about the public paying for the R&D only for a private entity to own the resultant patent and fleece the public for the product? Why should Harvard own the intellectual property rights of a publicly funded effort?
 
More extortion by the Con Man in Chief.

Or Lockheed own patents related to the development of military aircraft paid for by the taxpayers?
 
There were NEVER any small government republicans.

It was all just a lie to get votes.
