In the current case, WARF is claiming $400 million in damages from Apple. As the dispute over how much the iPhone maker owes is hashed out, critics are questioning whether schools receiving public money for research should be engaged in hostile patent litigation. NO. And public money should not be doled out for research.

NO. And public money should not be doled out for research. Yet these patent also show a "public ownership" claim in the patent itself since the research and development was funded by grant money under contract. . . so how can the University claim patent infringement rights or even patent ownership and control of use? As far as I can see, they don't have a clear title.
