"they have finally coded the software needed to optimize a design for an offshore turbine the lab applied to patent in 2020"
How is it that this research is funded by taxpayer dollars, and they are applying for patents on it? Is every American taxpayer allowed a patent license for this? We all paid for it.
Don't even get me started on how taxpayer funded research papers a always behind expensive paywalls.
Also, from the quote above, since they are just recently modeling it to see if it works, how can they have patent on it from 2020? I thought patents were reviewed to determine their usefulness?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
