"But startup innovation does not happen in a vacuum. Many of the world-changing products developed
by startups originate in university labs." A proposed government royalty seizure would deter this public-private collaboration that brings new products to the commercial market
"At a time when America’s leadership in biotech, artificial intelligence, and other critical sectors relies more than ever on the dynamism of small firms, we cannot afford to weaken the system that Bayh-Dole established." @USIJ https://t.co/ZAQAk5N7SL
