- colechristensen 7y agoWeird that they wouldn't protect their trademark
- tyingq 7y agoNot sure that "no longer associated with MIT" is exactly right. "our coverage is independent of any influence, including our ownership by MIT." https://www.technologyreview.com/about/ https://www.technologyreview.com/about/
- dekhn 7y agothat's not correct, they are owned by MIT.
- jessriedel 7y agoThanks you're right. The important idea I was remembering is that they have no editorial connection to the university; they're just an investment.
- lonelappde 7y agoIt's part of the trend of MIT and many other venerable institutions cashing out their reputation instead of building on it.
