Walt Copan highlighted the stark differences in the commercialization approaches between universities owning patents and federal agencies operating under restrictive statutory structures.
The conversation also emphasized China's increasing innovation capabilities and the stagnation of U.S. innovation, pointing to a concerning trend in competitiveness.
