1970s: University patents

 
Tuchman 59: "In the 1970s, the University of Wisconsin was patenting biological discoveries associated with federal grants. Also in the 1970s, Stanford University's new Office for Intellectual Property realized that the university would profit if it managed its own patents and, even better, if it insisted that its researchers patent their findings, rather than publish their findings to be used by anyone who cared to do so."
