I disagree with something you didn't sayUC sure gets a lot of patents. It probably helps that we're gigantic.Because UC has 10 campuses, [Judson King, director of something] said it is unfair to compare the amount of patents UC produces to the amount of patents produced by a small, single-site university like Caltech.Other school officials disagree, however, pointing to other large public university systems that do not keep pace with UC."University of Texas and University of Michigan are also on the list and they are similar in size and in their facilities," said Trey Davis, director of special projects for UC. "I would say that that is a fair comparison."That is, "It's unfair to compare the UC system with schools like Caltech." The university disagrees, though: "It's perfectly fair to compare the UC system with schools not like Caltech."UC's research contributed an estimated $5.2 billion to the state’s economic growth between 2002 and 2011.Yeah, we've contributed a lot to something that hasn't happened yet. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 4/05/2005 10:03:00 AM # Comments (0) . . .
