Re: Talk to the organ grinder
Well that will fall on deaf ears, given the Caltech patents include this clause:
GOVERNMENT LICENSE RIGHTS
The U.S. Government has a paid-up license in this invention and the right in limited circumstances to require the patent owner to license others on reasonable terms as provided for by the terms of Grant No. CCR-9804793 awarded by the National Science Foundation.
I therefore suggest an approach that might result in a beneficial outcome, would be to encourage the US government to exercise its right.
