Memo to entrepreneurs: Stay flexible
Seeded on Fri May 25, 2007 4:05 AM EDT (Science business)

The story of the basmati rice patent battle
Seeded on Fri May 25, 2007 4:00 AM EDT (Science Business)
Within the potentially rich but still largely unexplored lore of intellectual property (we are still waiting for an Isaiah Berlin of the history of IP), I came across a case that should be of considerable interest to the readers of this blog.

Seeded on Fri May 25, 2007 3:57 AM EDT (Science Business)
The universe of intellectual property is structured around a number of recurring themes.
New ways of running R&D
Seeded on Fri May 25, 2007 3:55 AM EDT (Science Business)

Seeded on Mon May 14, 2007 11:35 AM EDT (Science Business)
