<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>

<br>
At our last meeting in Ibusuki we agreed that Mr. Sakamoto of <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region> and the deputy leader of T24 would
represent us at the S1/Wg7 meeting in <st1:place w:st="on">Frankfurt</st1:place>.

<br>
If you plan to attend this meeting please be aware that there is a patent on
ISO 14649 implementation held by Professor Suh.<br>
