Supreme Court Rules Against Stanford Patent Claim

As a follow-up to a December 7, 2010 posting on this blog:

The US Supreme Court recently ruled against Stanford University in a case involving the patent rights of faculty members and private companies involved in technology transfers.  In a 7-2 ruling in Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University v. Roche Molecular Systems Inc., et al., 000 U.S. 09-1159 (2011), the Court held that the existence of federal funding for research does not automatically result in grant of patent or invention rights under the Bayh-Dole Act.  http://chronicle.com/article/Supreme-Court-Rebuffs/127776/
