Don't most public and private universities now have whole departments that specialize in patenting methods that their scientists have developed? I admit I am no expert in this area, but I thought a lot of this research was done as a sort of joint venture.

You can be sure that the universities are at least not losing money in the deal. And, again I thought there were spinoffs from colleges to develop certain things for profit, and for the benefit of the university.

I could be wrong, and I would love to hear from anyone who knows more about this.
