[MURG] MU intellectual property

[Yan King Yin]

Hello

I'm proposing something new again, to save you time
I'll make it brief:

MU requires a huge neuroscience knowledgebase. We
need researchers to work out a lot of mechanisms
and pathways. So we need to turn these research
results into IP. Unfortunately patents only last
for 20 years. Once published, the results become
public.

So my suggestion is to start a research consortium
and have researchers send the results to us first,
and then we'll provide channels for publication in
which we include restrictions on its use for MU
purposes. This is quite reasonable because there
could be a whole lot of other applications for those
research results. In this way we'll be able to
establish IP beyond the 20-year limit.

That's the idea, please comment on it.

YKY
