It’s been 30 years since Congress revised US patent laws to encourage universities to embrace the world of commerce. Critics predicted that the; integrity of academic research would be compromised by patent-grubbing and attempts to build companies around the latest laboratory findings. But such fears did not come true, says a new report from the National Academies released Monday. The panel—chaired by Mark Wrighton, Chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis—examined a vast file of scholarly work on how universities have managed intellectual property in the wake of the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act and concluded that things are pretty much hunky-dory (极好 的) right now. Or, as the report says:
The Bayh-Dole legal framework and the practices of universities have not seriously undermined academic norms of uninhibited inquiry, open communication, or faculty advancement based on scholarly merit. There is little evidence that intellectual property considerations interfere with other important avenues of transferring research results to development and commercial use.
At the same time, however, the Academies’ panel warns universities not to go overboard hunting for patents. While some universities have made millions of dollars by licensing discoveries from their labs, raising money should not be the main goal. Instead, the report says, universities should aim to disseminate (传播) technology as widely as possible for the public good. This may mean passing up the best-paying licensing deal and taking one that allows for broader use of the technology. For most schools, it adds, the likelihood of "raising significant revenue" from patents is small, the probability of disappointment is high, and the risk of "distorting and narrowing" the use of new knowledge is great.
It’s important not to get carried away with racking up patents at the expense of the university’s primary obligation to disseminate new knowledge and technologies, says panel member David Korn, assistant provost (教务长) for research at Harvard University. A former dean of the Stanford University Medical School, Korn was involved in reviewing a set of high-minded guidelines for universities that were largely adopted by the panel. These "Nine Points to Consider in Licensing" were previously endorsed by the Association of University Technology Managers.
According to the panel’s suggestion, what should most universities do?
选项
A、They should try hard to invent patents.
B、They should develop the technology for the society.
C、They should take risk of licensing the patents.
D、They should spread the technology based on use rather than profit.
答案
D
解析
综合推断题。由定位句可知,“这就可能意味着放弃最赚钱的注册交易而采用可以更广泛地传播科技用途的一种交易。”由此推知,D)“他们应根据用途而非利益推广科技”与之符合,为正确答案。
