‘Morehouse School of Medicine currently holds the most patents of any HBCU with a total of 63 granted between 2000 to 2019.’
It is both amusing and bewildering to us that that they look at such a small corner of the picture and ignore the entirety -that small entity patents have plummeted to only about 10% of their historical share. They focus on a possible minuscule silver lining and ignore a man made disaster of immense proportion. Meanwhile, they fail to publish the most essential facts such as that neither they or most any inventor or small business can enforce our patents which can take us many years of fighting the Patent Office to get, or even keep if we try: make that years fighting or bankruptcy -whichever comes first.
Is this reporting or PR? We guess it is PR as the article includes no comment section. Open public debate is the last thing they want to pay for.
They almost certainly are not able to commercialize them even if they have commercial potential. Neither can we ours. All theirs and our patents are most often good for is wallpaper. The patent system is a disaster for us and almost certainly for them. They and we spend hundreds of thousand for a patent we cant do anything with.
Why do they not report the facts? Who funds them? Who decides what to cover and how? Are they controlled by the same large multinationals that in our view commandeered our patent system and use it to legalize theft of their small competitors technologies? Was this piece paid for? Is this big business propaganda trying to obscure or hide reality?
