<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have a couple of comments about your
mention of Professor Suh’s patent. First of all, I think that this is
now a tendency, to protect academic research by patents because industry has,
in the past, been all too ready to exploit published academic research without
reimbursing either the original researchers or the funding agencies. This area
of Intellectual Property seems very fuzzy and patent applications seem a
natural tool for protecting researcher’s interests. I see what look
suspiciously like my published algorithms in CAD systems and I certainly haven’t
received any royalties. More importantly, since academics are now evaluate,
probably almost everywhere, the lack of credit by commercial companies is a
problem. Forcing commercial companies to acknowledge their use of academic
work is also important. Finally, as far as I can see, Professor Suh’s
patent is a protection for further research. It is far better that the patent
is in the hands of one of us than in the hands of some commercial vendor who
might limit our research. I certainly trust Professor Suh not to block either academic
or commercial developments. Even if a fee is payable to cover the cost of the
original patent application I would be able to justify a one-off payment as
part of a project. Is this to be discussed in <st1:place w:st="on">Frankfurt</st1:place>?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
