Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
That kind of led off the first part of the question that I had for the group today.
I was on the industry committee, and we studied some of these very topics. I was on the health committee years ago, and we studied this very topic, and here we are again, studying this very topic.
The question is—and I'm sure among scholars this is quite a debate—if the government is providing federally funded money to universities and researchers, etc., who should own the intellectual property? Should there be any intellectual property? When there are public dollars that are going forward for research in the public good, how is it that a researcher in a university lab has the ability to own that intellectual property?
Does anybody have any thoughts on that?
