Editorial Review:Since the early 1980s, universities in the United States have greatly expanded their patenting and licensing activities.

Using quantitative analysis and detailed case studies to assess the effects of the Act, it concludes that universities must maintain their historic commitment to the free flow of knowledge to serve the global public interest and sustain their remarkable scientific and technological achievements of the past century.
