Court ruling causes policy evaluation
A recent United States Supreme Court ruling has caused the University to evaluate its policies regarding intellectual property rights, according to Associate Provost for Innovation and Executive Director of the Office of Technology Licensing Irene Abrams in an interview with the Justice. In June, the United States Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Roche Molecular Systems over Stanford University in a patent dispute. The case originated from a situation in 2005 in which Stanford University sued Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. for patent infringement, said Senior Vice President and General Counsel Judith Sizer in a November 2010 interview with the Justice. An appeals court decision in 2010 ruled against Stanford and granted Roche the rights to federally funded research that was done at Stanford. The patent in dispute was for methods of evaluating the efficacy of anti-HIV therapies, which Stanford University postdoctoral fellow Mark Holodniy developed with funding from the federal government. In November, Abrams said that if the Federal Circuit Court decision were to stand, this case could create a problem for the University.
