The entire royalty situation stinks. A person who is salaried by the government should not be earning any money from third parties whom they also have any regulatory relationship with. The conflict is so grievous as to bring up who does this “scientist” work for? The taxpayers or some third party? Why does this government scientist spend his / her working day creating work for a third party? If there is not enough government work to do then there salary should be zero, and they can go to work full time at this other company.
