I hope this apply to patents as well. There are too many drug research funded by the public but the IP ended up owned by private companies.

- 4khilles 4y agoIs this a case where 100% of a research effort is publicly funded or more like 10%? If it's closer to 10%, why would a company take the risk of putting up 90% of the capital when they can just wait for their competitor's IP to become public? Maybe the duration of a patent should depend on how much public funding was received.
