The likely candidates would be universities. But I also believe these acts of infringement are unintentional. What most people don t realize is that many universities depend upon the private sector for grants or funds for research and development, expansion, internship programs, etc. A university is not going to infringe patents of patent owners that could be potential benefactors to the university. Furthermore, no university wants to risk such a public relations nightmare.
Many universities are heavily involved with independent inventors and start-up companies.
Thank you for your sharing your thoughts with us on this issue. It was my pleasure. This is an inventor s group, not a computer group. However, since we are really in the information age, computer information is becoming more and more part of what we all need to survive. FYI, noncomputing friends, we will have the newsletter until further notice.
