My 2 cents:
1) The govt shouldn’t have been funding the research to begin with.
2) If the govt does fund it then the citizens own at least a portion of the resulting patents. I would recommend a percentage based on the amount the govt provided vs what was privately funded.
3) The result of the universities owning these patents has resulted in grossly inflated monetary benefit to the universities that should have been used to offset tuition - instead tuitions have continued to grow multiple times above the inflation rate and university administration staffing has become inflated with a bunch of non-value adders. (Hell tuition should be free based on the amount some of these schools have made).
Harvard has a $65 BILLION EMDOWMENT and still begs for more as the tuition rises even higher.................
