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. [br] What was the critics’ attitude toward the revised patent laws?
选项
A、They thought the patent laws may promote the economic development.
B、They thought the patent laws may exert negative influence on scholarship.
C、They thought the patent laws may give the universities more power.
D、They thought the patent laws may make the universities more active.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,对于美国国会修改专利法,评论家预测追求专利和围绕实验室最新成果建立公司的企图将会影响学术研究的完整性。由此推知,评论家拟心该法案会对学术有负面影响,故B)为正确答案。
