The second presentation is by Elizabeth Rowe of the University of Florida. She notes that if universities act more like businesses in their patenting policies, they will experience the same litigation problems and costs as businesses, including IP-related employment disputes with faculty. [DWO Note — excellent point! Such externalities are critical to consider in the university patent context. This is an excellent presentation because it focuses on several real cases in which universities litigated patent ownership issues with faculty.]
