Do the researchers themselves even own the patents -- or will the company/university they work for own the patents?
You should see what happens when they realize they aren't ever going to become filthy rich someday from their discoveries... just like everybody else.
- krschultz 12y agoThey do actually own some % of it. They also do actually get filthy rich if the patent is worthwhile. The college I went to actually had two guys that invented most of the multi-touch technology that went into the original iPhone. Apple bought the patents out and the professor and doctoral student that had done the research made a good deal of money.
