Abstract

: In the United States, the passage of the Bayh–Dole Act in 1980 encouraged universities to license inventions for commercial development. Although this financial incentive can stimulate academic researchers to discover new drugs and devices, there is concern that the possibility of monetary reward could distort investigators' objectivity. In the US, universities are encouraged to license inventions for commercial development. Although this financial incentive can stimulate academics to discover new treatments, it might also distort the investigators' objectivity.
