researchers at MIT, funded by the GOVERNMENT, have discovered a broad

penicillin

it'll save plenty of lives if it works. but it was funded with
taxpayer dollars

so i'm sure prolifers will want it cut

Who owns the patent on this new product? Is is MIT or the US Government?
If the Government paid for the research then the Government should own
it, therefore, there is no incentive for a private corporation to
manufacture the product.

You should probably stick to something you know. I know there's got to
be something you know, right? Maybe how to eat your peas? That's about
your level.

I guess you never heard of licensing? Why do I bother....

MIT is great at licensing. my company licenses something from them
right now
