Not legally, but they don’t care about legalities. If they are “nice”, they may change the law so it’s “legal”, but I seriously doubt they will even bother, why would they when they can simply brute force it. “What are you going to do about it?” mentality.

Under the Bayh-Dole Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayh–Dole_Act) the federal government has the right to “march in” on patents on inventions created using taxpayer funds—to require the patent holder to license the federally funded patent to other applicants. The draft interagency framework provides guidance outlining when the government should exercise its march-in rights, which have never before been utilized.

Get into bed with Fed.gov and you never know what can happen....

Not legally however that’s never stopped brandon or harris. theyve defied supreme court rulings they didn’t like. They do what they want and the republicans WILL NOT hold them to account.

No they cannot. However you will be found complicit in some J6 kinda operation that allows you to plead no contest if you sign over your property (patent). Kiddie porn on your computer, some waste product contaminating ground water, or some accounting flaw.

I think you might be conflating two of her policies?

She has said she’ll go after price-gouging supermarkets (outrageous), and that she’ll claw back the patent rights for holders who developed the patents with government funding under written agreement that they’d make their products from that affordable—but who violated that agreement (perfectly fine IMO if as described).

Benito Mussolini and Adolph Hitler approve.

No, this isn’t “Godwin’s Law” or “argumentum ad hitlerum”.

It’s just recognition that the Harris policy, the Hitler policy and the Mussolini policy regarding the relationship between industry and government are indistinguishable.

Harris is a fascist, Walz is a communist.

To be fair, this might be a well-deserved threat against certain industries that have been playing a fascist racket for a long time. In my line of work I have come across more than a few cases where the U.S. government dumps a ton of money into a research project with private partners, and at the end of the contract the private companies end up holding the patents, copyrights, etc. for innovative products they then sell for billions of dollars in revenues.

Heck — I would make the case that entire industries like aerospace and pharmaceuticals wouldn’t even exist without this government largesse.

In Soviet America, to borrow a favorite phrase of the early communists, “Everything is possible.”

They have Eminent Domain for land, can't see why they couldn't come up with some legalese or emergency excuse for anything else.

No, but communist despots like Kamala sure will. Because she thinks she’s owed.
