Watched a couple of programs and was curious where colleges were going with patents. And it is really interesting with a law called Bayh-Dole that allowed colleges to go after patents in a commercial sense and on a global basis this is really a race.
So you have colleges that get the best and the brightest and then they develop unique scientific breakthroughs and make money on patents. Especially graphene.
Which takes the college from being this school like place of learning into a think tank factory. It becomes a have and have not situation that could really affect the 2nd tier schools in 20 years.
