Have you considered that the licenses made need not be broad, and that university licenses include milestone requirements to maintain the license?

- alextheparrot 9y agoI have not put significant thought into if making patents more specific would help the current situation. It could help or it could make relatively trivial derivative works a larger problem. That is actually some of what this article is about, wherein one group describes a tool in one system and another group describes it in a separate, more lucrative system. I'll leave the argument of if translating expression from prokaryotes to eukaryotes is trivial, but I am convinced the translation was significantly easier than the discovery and description of the system in the first place.
